Hi has anybody had problems with the oil ruturn from the turbo?

The oil doesnt seem to be draining away from the turbo and it fills the bearing housing and leaks.

Yea checked that and changed it even rebuilt the turbo was thinking mabie drilling and tapping the block and splitting the pipe into two but if it's a pressure problem don't think it will help. The turbo ain't smoking it's dripping out onto the floor :(

im not too sure on how its set up with where the oil feed goes into the block

could it be blocked where it enteres the engine

No I've checked that as well there is no blockage it's as if there is a pressure build up in the sump or somewhere. The oil return is only fed by gravity
