Intresting Oil Problem

[TSiWarrior]

I just recently installed a oil psi gauge, it reads 100+ psi after about 5000rpm. I've also noticed oil in the UICP. I figured it was my turbo so I decided to inspect it, very little shaft play but the fins are a tad messed up, like it somehow ate a rock. They look like they still could work fine, I took a dremel in there and filed the dents off so there is just some nicks left. I also noticed there was no oil inside the turbo or in the LICP. Everything on the lower side is nearly perfectly clean...Where is this oil comming from? I've also noticed some highly annoying lifter tick, but that is typical of dsm's eh? Ideas?

Normal.

Actully I made shure that I kept it in balance as much as I could. I put the wheel on a RC airplane properller ballancer... it's as close to perfect as I could get it without tearing pices of metal off. Does the other end of the breather tube connect anywhere? I just looked and mine simply just hangs down... I'm gunna put a filter on there tonight probibly.
