Hey guys i got an 97 s14 with a rb25 swap in it and i am in the process of finishing it. I got it started today but there's an issue. The pipe that goes in the intake part ofbthe Turbo has oil coming through and the part that's connected to the intake manifold has water in it. Now the car hasn't been started in almost 3 years and IM hopin the water could be just condensation. Im kinda new to turbos any help would be great. Thanks

Turbo bearings are going south?

Not the bearings, the seals... Looks like that oil is chocolate milkish too, might want to check into that.

If you don't want a used turbo, I went with a new NEO turbo from Fontana Nissan (Nissan Race Shop). I don't know where in Cali you are exactly, but they are super nice and have a ton of RB25 stuff.
