Oil level compared to oil return port on pan

[turboglenn]

Anyone ever take notice of where the oil level sits in relation to the turbo's oil return line where it bolts to the pan? recently i've observed that mine it above this open ing when I read full on the dipstick.. I"m starting to think i may have the wrong dipstick. But then again my car holds a tad over or just at 5quarts of oil and that is with my large oil cooler taking up probably 1/2 - 2/3rds of a quart.

Looking for anyone who's had the return off the pan amnd the pan full and where your oil was at..

The way i noticed was replacing the connector piece of line that goes from a cut 2g OEM return to a garrett flange on my holset...if i angle the lower part out flat or down oil will run out of it by a good bit.

thing is this is supposed to be a "no-no" for all turbos and holset especially lists this in their oiling instructions.

When its running, the oil level will be much lower than when stopped.

Well this one time at junkyard camp.... Lol no seriously, i pulled a pan off a ol 63 and the oil was almost dead level with the top of the pan. Fun times that was.
