AMS 50 trim kit oil problem....
Ok so i have seen a little oil smoke coming from under my hood for the past couple days.. I thought it might be stuff burning off from the install, like a little oil ect. Soo today it seemed to get worse soo i check the oil feed and return no leaks. Then i look at the side of the exhaust housing of the turbo. Oil is leaking from one of the bolts going into the exhaust housing for the turbo
.
Soo with that being said what does that mean? How do i fix it?

Ok so i called ams their tech service was really good. But the problem is i might have to take off the kit that i paid 700 bucks to get installed. Now the thing is the oil is coming from the ring on the exhaust housing. Some oil is leaking from the bolts that hold it on. Some is coming from under that ring onto the exhuast housing.
So befor i take off the whole kit is their anything i can try? Should i try to crank down the bolts more? No oil is going into my exhaust so its not coming from my cylinder head or anything else.
This turbo is like 1 week old lol it boggles my mind how it could turn to crap already.

It just simply sounds like a seal is bad. Nothing you can do but have it rebuild/replace it. Doesn't matter the age, I've pulled brand new parts out of boxes before and had them be defective.
Its not your fault, and its not AMS's fault. Its just one of those **** happens things..

The thing was i was hoping to fix it befor this big car meet in nj this weekend. I can still drive it for now i guess its not burning oil to bad. Monday i will have to take the kit off and send it back to ams i guess : / ... sucks that i spent 700 to get it installed and now im going to have to do it again.
