    so I was under my car yesterday and noticed quite a bit of oil on my suspension. Under further investigation I found it is coming from one of my turbos. What could cause this? 2001 2.7T with 120k and stock turbos haha sorry for being brief I'm on the iPhone

    could be valve cover gasket leaking down.Pull off the charge tube on turbo and see if there is more oil than usual.

    I will further investigate what you suggested... All I was doing was changing my oil when I noticed it. Amazing how I have stock turbos huh? Haha

    Any chance you could get back under there and take a pic to show the oil?

    I just want to see it before I make any conclusions.
