That wetness appears to have came from the sealing surface after the turbo was rolled over judging by the way it’s creeping down from the center of your circle.
Been a while since I’ve been in one but that looks very normal to me. I assume there is no in/out movement?
Yellow stain will probably remain, but should be smooth with no build up of material. The O rings seal on both the turbo and the block.
Correct, it doesn't move in and out at all. Just up and down as per the video.
Yellow stain must be from the yellow o rings Ive seen in some videos? original o rings from FORD? Nah its nice and smooth and clean under the old o rings in the pic. They are being replace obviously.
Thanks RACIN JASON and all of your fabulous gentlemen for your assistance!
I think I know why this leaked...my friend came over with his cute baby while I was doing the job the first time and I was distracted so I forgot to install one of the 2 torque-to-yield bolts and installed it after the rear clamp was installed. Turbo might have been cocked forward a little, hence the leak.
QUESTION: Do I attach the up pipe collector clamp to the back (hot side) of the turbo before I tighten the 2 long bolts or bolt the turbo down first and then tighten the clamp to join the turbo to up pipes?? At approx 20:30 Makuloco says to start the bolts, then clamp the turbo to up pipes, THEN torque to yield the 2 large bolts.
yeah i tried to get that yellow stain off and it was not coming.. just threw the vition on and heading down the trail.. your bolt sockets look good.. mine did as well and where where on failed a bit.. they are helicoils in there so easy to replace if needed..

The block has yellow stains from the OEM rings but I didn't have any luck removing it last time. I don't thing that should make and difference given the sealing surface is the bottom of the turbo not the bottom of the block
