hi i just got my old idi 7.3 running after swapping out my old e40d for a zf and decided to turbo it . i didn't buy a new turbo kit for it but found an old idi truck in a junkyard that had already been turbo'd. i only used the exaust manifold off of the junkyard truck and some smaller parts . i put a .68 garret turbo on it with an external waste gate and turned the pump up 2 flats. it is much more powerful than it used to be but there is a oil leak that i haven't been able to stop coming from the back of the engine behind the intake. when i installed the turbo i put the oil feed line for the turbo on the same peice that the oil pressure gauge runs from , i think it may be leaking from where the fitting goes into the block but i cant see back there or get my hand back there to feel around .
its leaking about a quart a week . does anyone have some helpful input or advice? thanks
