So, last night I put my car up in the air, was looking for a cause for rattling when I'm at 3k rpm. While snooping around under the DP, something drips onto my head. Ohhh woowww, oil. Grab a flash light and snoop around more and notice signs of oil being flung around, it was on the block/tranny case some heat shields and on the axle boot.

Look up at the turbo, I see the possible source. It's coming from piping from the turbo, I'm assuming it's a oil outlet. Now, I feel it isn't normal. But, all my other VW/Audi friends say that it is. I don't see how that is normal.

Care to chime in?

oh, that rattling was something I have no idea what it was. But, I fixed that. Now I got this oil thing.

wait so its coming out of the turbo compressor, or its coming from the oil return flange?

Looks like the return flange? I didn't take any pics

tighten the flange then

Yeah, just wanted to make sure that ish wasn't normal. Didn't sound right to me at all.

leaking oil isnt normal

hopefully its from the return and not the inlet or something. i can see how it might be normal if its from the return. should be able to just tighten it up... sometimes things loosen up...
