Hey Fellas, having a problem with my 85 d24t 744 with unknown high mileage. She has always had an appetite for oil, but more recently I took her to an autox event and lost about 1/2+ quart from 6-7 runs. I can see oil spraying out of a bad seal on the intake, which tells me it is definitely coming from the turbo. This is a new (chinabay) turbo with a few thousand on it. Oil seals already no good? I was watching an episode of Roadkill (any fans here?) where they turbo a 5.0 swapped 240z. They end up fitting a scavenge pump on the turbo because oil cannot vacate fast enough and ends up getting pushed out. Possible cause? I am no guru, just a humble DIYer who would like to get back to the track.
I have an oil seperator/breather box so I dont think its (only) crankcase pressure being pushed into the turbo. I also haven't gotten any oil build up in it.
