Here's the latest. I pulled the intake off the front of the turbo and the =
exhaust off the back. The exhaust was black with soot, but dry. The = intake had fresh oil as you can see in the pictures I'll attach. I wiped = a spot with my finger (outlined in yellow) and the rest of the oil is = outlined in red. Is that bad? Could the oil be going from the turbo = directly into the intake? Tomorrow I'm replacing the oil cooler lines, they're moist. Along with = that will be the engine mounts, tranny mount, driveline support = boot/bearing/dust cap and the rear sway bar links. Right now it's sitting = in the drive way with out any oil in the engine, prep'd for the = extravaganzacoolerlinesproject. Any suggestions on the turbo oil?
