turbo leaking oil
pulled my turbo off cm 871 had oil in tube to air charge cooler once removed found oil also in exhaust pipe but no oil in exhaust manifold. I figured seals gone, turbo shop says turbo cant leak both sides, i must have bad head or something. anybody ever seen them leak both sides?

mark it with a scribe or scratches, paint pen that would show if disassembled.
Like Uni said, find a new turbo shop.

90% of the non cummins remans out there for vgt's are junk. honestly the only reliable one ive seen so far has been dr. ISX's guy - most last only days

RE: turbo leaking oil
he did split it open in-front of me but not the turbines core section where seals are. i'm picking it back up tomorrow at noon if i invert turbo pore oil in drain port and let sit would oil seep past seal normally? only thing i can think of

RE: turbo leaking oil
It would probably need pressure and heat.
