Mine and two of my buddies are the same i think its kinda standard fare. I was told that alot of people run 2 stroke oil in there turbos because of that.

so what causes it? never had this problem on motorcycles.
My turbo xp had a perfectly clean charge pipe, turbo, etc the first couple days. pulled it apart after the 5th day and their is oil all over in it. is this because I rolled it a few times? Didn't roll it the first couple days and rolled it a few times on 4th and 5th day.
Need to build some kind of check system into the tank so that it does not dump oil in the turbo when it is upside down?
