Did my new turbo take a dump?

This would explain how the oil escaped and misted on the turbo intake tube from the CAC... There was no way this o-ring was sealing properly. I went to Cummins Quickserve, and went to the Turbocharger - Compressor Seal Oil Leak section... In the diagnostic tree, #2 was this, "Boost leak or past boost leaks including hose "blow-offs" causing an oil leak, or slobber. Well, back to my o ring, if this can cause slobber, I may have solved my problem last night when I fixed this. Finger's crossed.

I also found that a clogged air filter will cause slobber, as well as a clogged or crushed turbo charger drain line. I will inspect these also. Learning allot here...

Waterloo , I hate to brake it ! But this is beyond slobbering. Besides, everything else you wrote is correct. At the end it all comes to bad quality control. I don't trust no one . Every new thing have to pass my own QC . I know it sounds like overboard, but that's me . Here's a very few like me on this one and they will vouch for what I said. The reason is we hate to do it twice and pride stand before everything else .
