Stock Turbo's Bad

Hey can you all tell me what signs to look for if my stock twins are bad??? They pull real hard, but I seam to be leaking some oil. I just had a full motor rebuild from Banzia Racing. Car runs great, just worried about the oil leaking. Could it be coming form the turbo seal being bad??? Does it hurt the car to drive it if it is the turbo's leaking???? Thanks for the help!!!! Chad

Take the intake pipe from the turbos to the smic off and see if there's any oil inside. As for if it will hurt the car when the turbo is leaking? Not really, but with the increased amount of oil being burnt off it will gunk up your emissions, like your cat and everything. The turbos are just on their last legs. If you wanna save them get them rebuilt otherwise run them into the ground and ruin the fins and your engine. Just go single, now's the time.
