stock 99 turbos? help

ok so iv brought my fd to multiple shops and none of them found this problem. i had the car up in the air less than a minute and found i was leaking oil into my second turbo the one in the back. does anyone know how i could fix this? i dont really want to take it back to a shop since its already been to 4 different ones more or less. greatly appreciated guys.

Derek

well, if your rear turbo is bad you need to remove the twin assembly and either replace that individual turbo or just get a new(er) twin assembly. The stock twins do leak some oil as they get older so unless its really bad i wouldnt be concerned. Plan on doing the work youself because paying a shop will cost a fortune...the new gaskets alone to remove/re-install cost over $300! (which is more than it would cost to find a used replacement set of turbos, lol)
