I have a major problem. My brand new turbo is leaking oil out of the exhaust side. Is this because it is not draining oil fast enough. I have a #3 braided stainless line into the turbo and a 3/8 braided stainless line out. Also, the oil drain isn't exactly pointing straight down, could this be the problem. I have alot of smoke, and I am afraid to drive the car for fear of running out of oil. Also, it is not draining straight to the oil pan. Right above the oil pan is a bolt which I removed and drained my oil back into here. Is there a possibility that that is feeding oil back into the turbo through the drain line? Anyone please help.

Its only a drain... dont think it has to be regulated. But yeah... If you havn't tapped a hole into your oil pan you're gonna wanna do that. I'm betting that's your problem. Did you install the turbo system yourself?
