Message SO after starting my Z up for the first time in awhile and actually getting it too run, I noticed underneath a stream of oil coming down. Car is on jack stands so i can easily get underneath it. Saw the oil coming from the turbo. cleaned it all off and had someone start it while i watched it. IMEDIETLY as soon as it started running, oil was pouring out of the eye bolt and banjo washers in the picture. Its really bad and a steady pour. My question is, after looking around at the turbo breakdown from Courtesy (last pic) is there even supose to be oil coming thru that line??? or is that the coolant line? OR am i just backwards and over reacting. I really dont know how, or why there would be oil leaking out of the coolant line to the turbo. if it IS the oil line then why would it be leaking? I can take the bolt out and it looks fine.... the banjo washers look fine, and i tighten it real good when i install it. Also, prior to starting my Z i had to remove the plenum to replace the injectors...any possible way i got something mixed up? lines crossed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ohh and this is just stock rebuilt turbo on driver side. you can see the oil pan and transmission to get a direction. thanks
