Hey guys,
While doing a boost leak check tonight i was hearing a semi loud bubbling coming from under the car. Possibly the oil pan. Just wanna verify my fear with you others, Possible Blown Oil Seal? therefore blown turbo?
There is a little up and down motion on the turbine, but no in and out.

What? It is normal, it would probably do it less if you did the BLT with the engine still hot, but my brand new 16g did that, it is fine.

My t25 did that on my old 2g. I believe the turbo went out shortly after since the guy who bought it replaced it. But you never know with those POS's.

This is on a SCM6152E. Im not sure if its blown, but i should start saving up for a possible upgrade in case it does go. thinking possibly SCM6152R. Finally go ball bearing.
