| i'd loosen the headers off enough to see the ex ports & you be able to see any oil residue, fingers crossed for you | |

| Oil coming out of the ports of the heads , i'd say thats not the blower bud. Don't sound good, | |

| before you jump straight in for the engine, its not something more simple like an overfill of oil ? | |

| Surley if the oil was comong from the turbo & leaking into the up pipe like mine did, it wouldn't make it travel 3 foot & through a 90deg bend then travel upwards into the exhaust ports of the heads. Which port or ports was the oil visible noticible Keefer ?. | |

| My old Black sti turned out to be valve stem oil seal on no 2 , after checking with Drews borescope. I hope you get to the bottom of it bud, but as said it a physical impossibilty for an oil leak form a turbo seal to get back up the passenger(to you) exhaust port. | |
