i just noticed the other day that i was leaking oil pretty bad, and i kinda have an idea of where its comin from. but i also saw oil drippin from clutch that day also and yes it was oil and not tranny fluid. but i hadn't been drivin hard since its been leakin and i was running 8lbs wit the greddy kit and emanage. so i decided to get on it the other night to see what i was boosting at and i was only at 6lbs and never turned my boost, so i turned it all the way down this mornin and it was only boostin to 4lbs instead of 5.5, any thoughts on why i am losing 1 and a half to 2 pounds of boost? and how can i go about solving this problem?

thats where its comin from, but would that cause me to lose boost like that?Tainted Ramen said:check the oil line you tapped into the pan for the turbo. Or take some carb cleaner and clean it all off, and see where the oils comin from...
i have been gettin alot of black smoke but i figured that it was just normal, but im bout to go outside right now to see if i can find out why im losin boost b/c i know where the oil is leakin from and im gonna try and fix thatt04ecvc said:You might have blown a oil seal on the turbo, does the car smoke at all? Check for boost leaks, this might all be a coincedence. Let me know what you find and I can prob pinpoint it pretty fast.
if thats the case then what? im not sure if i can manage takin off my downpipe myself considering i don't have very good tools or a lift, im just using ramps and its kinda cramped under thurrt04ecvc said:Pull off your downpipe and look inside for traces of burnt oil. If there is, its a bad seal or maybe even issues with your rings.
i took some pictures of where my oil is leakin but im not sure how to post them if anyone could help me out i would appreciate it
also i figured out today, i said i was losing like 2lbs of boost but it seems from my gauge that it is boosting in the vac. like b4 it gets to 0 and i was wondering if anyone knew why it would do this?
