I have said this 100 times but.. turbos are pressure fed and gravity drain, if you do not give it a big enough tube to drain in to it will start to leak thru the seals. There was another guy that had a SS line put in and it started to smoke more and more, he had a larger one put on and it fixed the problem.

Good luck with the problem.
hey that was me, and now oil comes out on the side that you put a filter on. is that because i have bad seals and does my turbo need to be rebuilt and if so how much does it cost to rebuild one. oh and i checked the shaft play and it dont hardly move.
