Looking up from under the car, on the driver side of the turbo where the air intake connects, the turbo is covered completely in oil, and there's oil all down the back of the engine, across the back of the oil pan, and a little bit collected on the plastic under belly air tray.
Oil lightly covered the windshield a couple weeks ago, and it seems to keep coming back. It was odd but didn't consider it could be serious, until seeing the back of the block while changing the oil last week.
I haven't seen any additional smoke out the back, so I don't think oil is going inside the intake yet, just all along the outside.
Would this be a sign I caught the turbo oil seals leaking, and this thing is getting ready to blow?
Do these turbo's fail nicely, letting me drive it until failure and then limp home, or is it more of an impending doom and hydro-lock type thing?
