Anybody? If the turbo itself is leaking i suppose I'd have to get a new one or rebuild or something? Dont't know, new to turbos...

well, if you had one puddle, and changed lines, and it moved, then its still the lines thats the problem.

if you had 2 puddles, then maybe its the turbo. i doubt it tho. if the turbo was leaking, it would be leaking while its running too, causing a bunch of smoke.
