oil leak cant find source

[supraman2121]

on my stock 7mgte its leaking somewhere on the turbo im just wondering if it would leak out the back of the turbo if it was internal seals

Well, there isn't an oil source above the turbo to leak on the turbo. Follow the trail.

i tried and the bolts on the oil feed and drain are tight

Just because the bolts are tight doesn't mean the gasket is not leaking.

Use brake cleaner and clean it up and then look at it.

that's the suspect... also make sure you have crush washers where the line hooks to the block.

ok thanks guys i bought the turbo gasket kit from driftmotion so i will replace all of them to make sure i also orderd alot of other gaskets and orings

On the turbo where? Top, bottom, side, underneath? Check valve cover gaskets and CPS o-ring. Both are notorious leakers but are cheap easy fixes.
