w00t! I think my turbo oil lines gave out on me
Yep, I found oil all around my turbo, i already kinda have a general idea about what happen and how to fix it.
A. Blew my oil inlet gasket / outlet gasket
things im planning to replace.
oil inlet and outlet gasket.
Also replace the oil lines, i dont want to deal with more hassle and getting it later, mine as well replace it now.
At the same time mine as well port the wastegate if i have to remove the turbo to replace the outlet gasket.
why am i so happy about this?
maybe because i am sick. literally feeling sick.

why are you feeling sick?
its not that big a job to yoink the ol' snail - get out your wrenches and put on your work clothes!!!git er done! haha
the biggest thing I would be fearing if I was you (only because I don't know how good[or bad] of shape this car is) is how much other junk I'll need to replace once I take it all apart....hehe

do anyone know where to get the inlet gasket at?
i found the outlet gasket on mazdatrix
http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=14-2930-N385
http://www.mazdatrix.com/e6.htm
i wonder are they the same.
Also where can i find oil feeding (inlet) lines and return lines (outlet) also will a universal atp brand oil lines fit?
also i think this answer my low oil pressure reading.

It's very unlikely you'll need to replace the oil lines, especially since one is braided steel and the other is solid steel. Replace the gaskets and I bet the leak will stop. Don't waste money you don't have to.

ok, as i took a closure look today, it is not coming from the oil line or the gasket. It seems like it is coming through the turbo outlet neck going toward the IC.
Here is some pics
It was worst on sunday when i drove it around, it seem more wet and actually dripping oil.

mmmm blow by
What are your mods? I recommend getting an oil catch can to go between the oil filler tower and that inlet for the PCV system so you wont have it all over the ground.
Are you upping boost at all?

well I believe it's blow by, someone else can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong but it's just your PCV Valve sucking up the pressures in the motor and putting it back in in the intake tract.
