My recently rebuilt T3/T4 hybrid ATS turbo ( thanks Russ) on my 87 6.9 has a bad oil leak.
I know there is a small Oring for the valley pan oil drain that I might have left out, but the leak seems higher, as I can see a drip from a rear left side bolt at about the 7 oclock position.
Any advice other than to pull the turbo (again).
Thanks, Mike

I was grasping at straws. here. We were hoping to leave on a six week celebration trip after 9 months of chemo and major surgery for a rare appendix cancer, I was hoping for a quick fix, haha.

I wish I could come help sort this out, I know its going to be something simple. Double check that feed line setup.

Alls well, I loosened all the pipe fittings and sawed off the Zf5 ear that was hitting on the y pipe.
I made sure to tighten the pedestal bolts first.
No oil leak now.
Thanks all,
Mike
