HELP Stuck at work with my blowthrough 7

Went to go out for lunch and saw a trail of oil leading to where I parked. Checked the oil and it was at mid point between H & L. Started her up and at the drivers side top of the endplate just underneath the oil filter at the top where the plate meets the rotor housing she drizzling oil pretty bad. I'm 25 miles away from home, do you think i could put some jb weld there and baby it home? Other than the leak she seems fine.

If not do they have to be put on a flat bed or can a tow dolly work?

Sounds like you cracked the rear iron, not good. Tow it.

The old turbo 12a with a cracked rear iron problem.... darn it.... Thank goodness I have my old 12a and never sold it. 10psi of boost. It was a good stretch while it lasted about 1.5 years.

Now if I go N/A I know I'm going to want to boost it again, and if I boost my old reliable and crack the end plate I'm going to wish I went N/A....

I'll just worry about getting the car home 1st and then figure it out. Thanks again guys.
