Leaking tons of Oil from intercooler

Hey guys,

I appreciate any help regading my problem. I have a 94 RX7, with an intake, exhaust and downpipe. I am leaking TONS of oil from my OEM intercooler. I am NOT leaking oil from the intakes. Are my turbos gone or do I simply need to get a new intercooler? Once again thanks in advance!

If you have that much oil in the IC, then probably the turbos are shot.

Yep... to get a good look take off the duct that give fresh air to the primary turbo. Check for some shaft play. I have a feeling your going to have lots. I would hurry aswell because driving on a super leaky turbo could have implications such as lowering the octane of the fuel and causing detonation.

Mahjik and Marek, Thanks for your help, I was fortunate enough to find some replacements turbos at a decent price.
