    Oil leak Precision turbo

    Hi! Noticed today that my turbo was smooking a little of the exhaust housing. Removed my turbo blanket and found a small trace of oil coming out between the exhaust housing and bearing housing. The turbo is a Precision 58/58 (not bb). Worked fine with my setup for 2 years so i don't think it has something to do with my oil-drain or oil feed. Any one that have experienced this with their turbo? Is there a gasket between the housings? because i don't find any info about this on the net.

    Shaft seals are likely leaking a little. It's rebuild time if it gets worse or you can't live with it as it is.

      But if it is the shaft seal, wouldn't it smoke from the exhaust then? Not leak there?
