hey all, so i changed my air filter the other day and noticed some oil in the intake hose. so i pulled it off and there was a little puddle of oil where the hose clamps onto the intake flange on the turbo. i stuck my fingers in there and i can spin the turbine freely and it has no play in any direction. so im stumped as to why oil could be comming out of it when theres no play and no way of it to leak into the compressor housing unless the seal inbetween is shot. ill post some pics when i get further into it but anyone know what might be going on? its the kkk k24 turbo charger.

Agreed with pieces of all these posts lol.

Its PCV blowby. Its normal... But if you get a catch can (goes inline with the PCV system), the can will catch the oil instead of spraying it into your IC piping, which then drains into your turbocharger.
