Hey as the title says the Turbo outlet pipe is leaking oil. Just some info about the car it is an S4 TII engine, but recently put on an S5 turbo. Also I'm using the old S4 Turbo outlet pipe. When I had the S4 turbo on, it wasnt leaking. I have resurfaced the TOP, changed gaskets. I want to resurface the S5 turbo side, but that requires me to disassemble it, which is the last thing I want to do.

I was wondering what could cause this? Should I be using an S5 TOP? Or is there too much pressure? Could my TOP be bent??

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Also a note: oil is not coming out from anywhere else on the turbo, just where the turbo outlet pipe meets the turbo.

So you have oil in your intake pipe? From turbo to intercooler?

sounds like hes talking about the oil return line?

you can try applying some silicone to the gasket and then bolt it back together.

Yeah I'm talking about the oil return line, sorry for the confusion. I have already tried putting silicone on the gasket. I feel that either the pipe is bent, the actual turbo side is uneven, or theres too much pressure? Any thoughts?

Return line shouldn't really see much pressure. Did you recently replace the turbo? That stock line is a PITA to get perfectly back into place once bent...
