I've noticed oil leaking (more like seeping, than leaking) out of the area between the turbine and the compressor. It's seeping out where turbine and compressor attach to the center section - in the crack/gap where the bolts (and rectangular washers) are - I guess the "mating surface" is a better way to describe it. I've only noticed it since the cold weather has started. I also have been running the truck on high idle (1,050rpm setting) to warm it up before taking the kids to school.
Could the extended idle times be causing this? Just wondering since the turbo isn't really spooling up during idle times. I do have a small amount of seepage from around where the CDR sits in the valve cover (I think that is normal, though?).
