your lucky i guess, your turbo could be really wet like mine. i have some pretty significant shaft play and it leaks oil into and around the intake tube.

time for a turbo rebuild :(

im assuming its due to the fact the previous owner really didnt care about the car and drove it 32k w/o ever letting it cool down enough (lacking turbo timer) and put in a mbc at 8psi with just a cai lol. being that our turbos are not ball bearing its just riding on a rubber seal that gets destroyed when shutting down at high temps

You sure about that?(poke)

i would suggest using this if its the return line ur refering to....http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/gt_series_oil_return_gasket/default.asp?

i tried the oem o-ring that came in there put it's kinda of a b**** to go in so i saw this gasket online and used that and never had a problem since
Thanks for that link! I have been looking for this type of gasket for awhile now! Did you take out the old O-ring on the return line or did you,Leave it in there? Also did you use any type of Silicone sealent?
 
holy s*** my turbo looks just like that with oil covering it!!! **** how'd it go at the dealer, my current mods on my car are a GHL Turboback, Injen Cai, All 4 AWR Motor Mounts, i'm not going to have to return it all back to stock and take it to the dealer am I? Are they going to replace the turbo? Please help me, I only have 2000 miles left on my warrenty!!!!!
 
More of a b**** is having to pull the turbo off and have it rebuilt or replaced from out of your own pocket and not Mazdas $$$
