Yep. Was the turbo new or used? If the seals were new you may have too much oil pressure going to the turbo blowing out the seals, or too little to keep them lubricated.

Your turbo is fed oil from the block. Inside the turbo is seals to keep the oil where it belongs. Those seals going bad blow oil into all types of place you really don't want oil going. Sounds like the turbo needs new seals. Any local performance shop you trust could probably do it, or there's several well recognized online turbo rebuilders you can sent it off to. Don't freak man, it happens to EVERY turbo eventually.

Back to my original question...did you buy the turbo new or used? Also how many miles or on it?
