    Im starting to smell oil...about 50k miles ago I had to change the OEM turbo as it was leaking onto the manifold and startiong to smell like burned oil. Im at 160k miles now. THis is cheap copy of the OEM turbo I bought from Autoanything.

    Its usually wet under the air intake pipe but not usually wet under the turbo.

    Looks like it's leaking to me. You should check that your pcv valve isn't clogged

    I changed the PCV valve in the last few months when I cleaned the valves for the 3rd time.

    I did overfill the engine with during oil change just 2 weeks ago. Looks like I'm 1/2 a quart over.
