I don't want to be a pain to anyone, but I've been searching for days for somewhat of a solution to this problem, Im fairly new to the turbo world, and a week or so after getting a SR20, I noticed smoke (white) coming from the exhaust, later on in the evening I found a little puddle of oil underneath, after looking under the hood, i found oil around the turbo along with residual coming from the BOV, today I took off the intake pipe and found oil as well, along with the charge pipe coming from the intercooler. other than the smoke and the oil leak underneath you couldnt tell anything was wrong, it was still boosting at 12psi. The previous owner said turbo was just rebuilt a month or so back..

I just want to pull my hair out already, can anyone help me figure out anything?!

Like I said, Im fairly new to the turbo scene, so if you decide you want to be an epic douche, by all means, go ahead.. Thanks!
