Hey, I am having a problem with oil leaks in my car. I thought I was leaking from the return line again... But it looks like the leak is actually at the feed line, where it meets the turbo.

It seems weird to me, since Gravity should pull the oil back to the pan and not back out the feed line area. Could this be the sign of a bigger problem? like oil not getting through the turbo or something? Or too much oil pressure? The problem seems to occur with more boost.

Today, I am running at 1.05 bar(From .95 bar). I have the SS braided feed line with relocation kit. It was too hot for me to try and tighten it, after I located the problem

Thanks
Tuan
 
Nevermind. It turns out the feed line was a little loose. Dunno what ahppened. I havent touched it for over a year... and no leaks, till last week.
