When I got my second 35r(after the first one was damaged) I noticed a small leak that seemed to be coming from where the turbine housing meets the center section. It was small enough that I only really noticed it after I let the car sit for a while and it cooled down, otherwise it would just burn off. Anyway, I now have the original turbo back on the car after it was repaired(having sold the second one) and i'm now noticing the EXACT same leak. Does anyone know if thats common? I cant seemt to think that any oil leak would be common but who knows. If not, any ideas what it may be?

it shouldnt leak at all...send it back to the vendor or manufacturer you bought it from and explain what is happening...they should fix it

 

if the turbo was loosened to be "clocked" the bolts may be loose, make sure they are all right, 1/2" i believe
