blowing oil
hey guys i got a 2005 ford F350 6.0L and i just completed a turbo rebuld becasue the exhaust was leaking oil, figured it out to be a leaking turbo oil ring seal..put it all back together and drove it yesterday... everything seemed fine,, i drove it again this morning and it is boosting to about 20ish PSI. but when i stoped and checked it out i knoticed oil coming out of the Vcamp, right where the turbo meets the exhaust... but its coming out of the TOP... it makes no sence.. what can you guys think of??? thanks for your help..

If it is the exhaust outlet the oil would be swirling and under some pressure and if you didn't get the pipe seated properly it would allow the oil to escape there and from the sound of it your seal repair didn't work. When you pulled the turbo was there oil in the exhaust inlet side?
