Hey guys I'm just looking for some ideas on what my problem may be before I put it on the lift an pay someone to diagnose me. I am leaking oil somewhere near the turbo When engine warms up it smokes out the exhaust and up from where the turbo is. Is their any common problem this could be? Am I in need of a turbo rebuild? Also it seems to break up a little bit in top end. Any help would be great. 1995 s14 with sr20det swap.

Figure out where its leaking. Couldn't be the oil return from the turbo. Could be a rear main seal leak. You just have to put it up on jacks and look under where its leaking.

It looked like it was coming from a turbo line. How pricy of a repair do u think that is?
