Turbo problem

[FbmCarl]

Today discovered that the bottom of the turbo is wet with engine oil, Is this a turbo rebuild job with the gasket kit or could it be something worse?

thanks

Remove the rubber elbow that connects onto the front of the turbo and give it a wipe out, it's just condensed oil vapour in there from the crankcase breather on the rocker cover.

It looks like its coming from the back of the turbo? same thing?

Could well be. A build up of oil collects in the rubber tube over time and just dribbles out or is sucked into the turbo on it's way to the intake manifold.
