quick turbo oil leak question

[asmith88]

oil is running out of my dci engine, 1.5 litres per week, there isnt much oil in intake pipes,

i was wondering is it possible that all the oil leak is coming from the exhaust side of the turbo?

if i pull the cat of the turbo would i see oil or would it have burned off?

burning oil is starting to annoy me now,

You're car would be seriously smoking if it was leaking down the exhaust side of the turbo.

oh shes smoking alrite, put the boot down and you cant breathe,

would i see oil in the exhaust side of the turbo if i took the cat off? or would it burn straight away anyway?

Yeah you will know if oil is leaking down the exhaust if you take the cat off, try taking the air pipe from the air box to the turbo because most times there will be play in the propellor shaft.

I've changed a turbo on a car before and just pulling the car out of the workshop it's filled the workshop with smoke because the exhaust is full of oil.

Slight play, only a little oil in the pipes

just have been working at it and noticed that the breather going from the rocker to the turbo is completely blocked nothing is getting through it,

would this cause oil consumption problems?

pressure?
