Mosk...there was several drips of oil in the intakte tube and there was a film of oil on the rubber elbow that goes to the TB. It wasn't like there was a stream of oil pouring out of the tube. I'm new to turbos so I wasn't sure.


Sounds typical. There's probably some leakage in the seals, but you are likely OK. I would keep track of how much oil it's using, and let that be your guide.
