oil on turbo...

I finaly got my s13 sr running and took her out for a test drive last night. It WAS running ok. I was almost back to the house so I decided to give it a little gas, all hell then broke loose. She started smokin like hell so I shut it off real quick. It looks like there is oil on the line going to the turbo. Its late so I cant really look at it now, but anyone know how much damage I'm looking at right now?

Oil seals might be bad= bad turbo son.

Oil on the line itself... how much? If it's just a mist, you might be alright - it might be leaking down from somewhere else, and the smoke might be unrelated. In all actuality, it probably is your turbo, but just saying... could be a ring/ring land.

AHH, damn. Oh well, I guess its time for an upgrade!
