Few Problems

First off, whenever i turn my car off my battery drains to the point where i cant start it on its own, i have to jump it (its to the point where i carry a battery and jumper cables around with me), i was thinking it was a relay, is this a possibilty and is the only other thing it could be is a bad ground

Second, im leaking a shitload of oil. my driveway and garage is just a big puddle of oil, and when im driving, it seems like at high rpms/when the 2nd turbo kicks in, oil is spraying out of somewhere, because i have the N1 hood, and oil is gettin sprayed out of the hood vents onto my windshield. Thers also quite a bit of oil in my IC piping.

Any help is much appriecated

A few things i noticed.

Electronically, my turbo timer wont turn on or off, sometimes the back lights up but doesnt turn on, and it will stay lit even after i turn the car off, and other times it just doesnt turn on


Oil wise, i noticed my Oil pressure gauge reads around 90 lbs when driving which seems good, but at idle it almost hits 0, it goes to around 10 maybe. What would this mean

Have you replaced the battery? Maybe it's old???? As for the turbo timer, fix it and see if that fixes the drain problem on the battery (assuming the battery is good and does not have a dead cell).

Have you tried to trace the oil leak? If you're driveway is a big puddle of oil, then it is leaking while the car is not moving which means you should be able to look for the leak while the car is parked.
