That's what I'm thinking is that the center section is cracked somewhere. I have a 3 inch downpipe and 3 inch exhaust no catalytic converter no heat shields. Straight pipe the whole way with just a single Muffler. If it has a cracked Center section it's pretty odd because it's not leaking into the exhaust. It does not smoke at all out the tailpipe. It also doesn't smell like it's burning oil out of the tailpipe. I've had several turbos smoke I've had several of them burn oil out the tailpipe, pretty familiar with that, that's why this is so strange. If it's leaking past the turbine shaft seal doesn't it have to be leaking into the exhaust? It's just so odd it's leaking down in between the center section and the turbine housing and dripping out of the bottom where that metal clamp holds them together. I have never seen that before. As soon as I get back from St.Louis I'm going to take it apart and look inside and see what I find. Thanks for the response.
