I recently rebuilt my turbo, and I'm having problems with it burning and leaking oil. After the rebuild the shaft had almost no play in it, and it spun free and smooth.
Here's what I've done during the rebuild process:
1)New turbo housing (cracked the old one when I dropped it)
2)360 degree oil seal
3)New bearings, seals, etc. (typical overhaul kit)
4)Valve cover gasket
5)Valve cover to intake tube
The only thing that isn't new is the shaft itself. Could it be worn enough to allow oil to bypass the seal, but not enough to cause shaft play? Also the housing was empty when I dropped it, so I can immediately rule out shaft damage from the fall.
Here's a pic of the oil drip:
