I have been noticing a small amount of oil around the turbo housing on my LLY in the last few weeks. Here more recently it seems to be getting worse.

I also have noticed less noise from the turbo than it normally has and it seems that it is taking longer to build boost/ slight power loss.

Any ideas? Or is time to pony up for an aftermarket turbo?

Oil around the turbo inlet is normal. The LLY has a closed PCV system which means that the crankcase vapors are reintrodused into the air intake. Thatis why there is also an oil resideu at the CAC tube boots.
