Was just changing my oil tonight and found some fresh oil on the back of my 2nd turbo i was just wondering if this is a sign OF A leaky turbo oil return line ?

what are your guys thoughts?

If the oil is below the 2nd turbo that's where I'd start looking.

If it's on the aluminum compressor housing, I think it's unlikely the oil lines would leak onto that. In that case remove the turbo piping (y-pipe) and see if there is oil leaking through the gaskets.

what would cause oil to be on the bottom of my secondary turbo? i couldnt see if there was any on the primary because of the heat shields, i was just taking a quick look while i was changing oil....

mine is leaking from the secondary turbo right at the oil outlet pipe. I know my problem is a loose bolt. I would suggest getting under the car and taking a look at that.

Where is the oil outlet pipe located ?
would it be easier to acccess it by going through the engine bay or under the car up the engine bay.

Is it possible to take off the front right tire and then remove that plastic stuff from the wheel well which will put you in direct line of site of the turbos? anyone done this before?
