    Changed all the fluids (F&R diffs, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, tranny and Tcase) in the rig last weekend and while doing this I noticed that there is oil collecting on the bottom side of the turbo intake housing right around where the boost elbow is. When I installed the AFE intake about a month ago I honestly don’t remember it being there. I checked the oil supply line to the turbo (on the top) and it is fine, tight and no leaks. Only other lines on the bottom of the turbo is the oil return line and it was fine. Turbo itself is acting fine, producing plenty of boost (spikes at about 33-35 under HARD acceleration), sounds fine and when I installed the AFE I visually checked the fins and checked for shaft movement and all seemed fine. Any thoughts?

    May be leaking under pressure. Just a thought.
