Turbo might be leaking oil...plz help
I cleaned up the used turbo i bought, and fitted the oil lines and such on (new gaskets, and gasket sealer), and i held my finger over the feed line, and blew into the return line to see if there were any leaks.. I heard a small amount of air coming out from where the turbo connects to the manifold.. Anybody know if this is normal or not?

dezerte i have the same situation and my turbo only has about 30k miles on it came with the jspec neways my oil seals are gone and when you spool up the turbo it leaks oil and releases a bunch of smoke everywhere if thats the case just get another turbo or rebuild the one you got a rebuild kit from mazda i think is about $100
