turbo problem

gemstone · 10-21-2005, 04:21 PM

I think I have an oil leak in the area of the turbo, but cannot see point of origin. oil drops on garage floor and on return oil pipe. 87 supra has 77,000 original miles, with recently replaced head gasket. Oil lines were not removed form turbo during rebuild. Did not notice leak before engine rebuild. Any help would be appreciated. Question, if turbo seals are leaking, would they leak internally into the intercooer pipe or external at the turbo?
