Well my turbo is dead and I'm getting another one next week, I looked under the car today and saw all this oil, The oil coming from the turbo is normal for a blown turbo right? also on the flange for the downpipe? But what about all the other oil on the oil filter and all that?

bummer dude :( atleast your turbo diddnt die after eating rubber and sending it all through your system in a million chunks!

yeah that oil is not normal for a working turbo. i dont know how to explain the oil filter deal... did you look up from under the car at the oil return line? maybe it all slung down from there... unless its all leaking from that one lip on your turbo
 
well, I had alot of oil in my intake system and a good amount outside. The other oil leaks you are talking about can just be from when it blew, driving on the highway or so, the oil could of splattered everywhere. I had an oil leak on my oil pan, I was missing like 5 bolts on it and had to change the oil pan gasket. now I have a very small leak but nothing big, only happens when I'm running 17-22 psi. Oil leaks that only occur at boost levels are kind of difficult.
