we shall see, i hope that is not the case, the oil is old and dirty, and the engine is freshly oiled and just started for the first time, so even though I do not understand how oil defies gravity and vacuum dynamics (if there is such a dynamic, ha!) I will plan for it to clear itself up, or begin shooting clean new oil at me. THanks for the input most appreciated!

well after it's traveled out the exhaust it's gonna be heavily heated and very dirt. Leaky turbo is the culprit.
