I am new to turbos but I installed an hta68 on my Galant VR4 it was installed in December. I found I had several pan leaks so I pulled the pan and re sealed it. Now no more pan leaks. I am seeing an oil weep at the v band on the turbo now. I have replaced the gaskets on both ends of the OEM drain pipe It does not appear to be leaking there. I did change oil type and now Im running valvoline VR1 20-50 I have fairly high oil pressure 70-80 when cold at an idle once warmed up about 60-70 at 3500rpm. I feed oil from the OFH and not the head. Could this be my problem? I have attached a picture
