Turbo oil seals blown?
I am pulling the top of my engine apart to change out all the vacume hoses and noticed that there is a crapload of oil in my intake piping. Basically all the piping before the turbos was clean and all after up to the tb were full of oil(to be read as a large amount sitting in bottom of pipes).
So I imediately think that my turbos oil seals are gone
am I right in this assumtion?
and is there any chance that I can just rebuild the oil seals cheaply to get the car back on the road?
any help would be apreciated as this is my only car and a daily driver.

If you search you will find gobs of posts on this. There has been oil in every intake I've seen. A thin coating is not anything I worry about. If your intercooler drips oil when you flip it then thats more serious obviosly.

it far worse than that I moped like a 1/4 cup of oil out of the piping alone not even in the intercooler.
wierd thing is that the car boosted fine, idled good and didn't smoke...
both turbos have quite a bit of shaft play too
