Was working under my Jeep and noticed oil dripping off the bottom of the tranny. Followed the oil leak up and saw it dripping off the bottom of my turbo. Is this something I can fix with the elephant mod or Provent? To catch the excess oil... Or is this something else. Thanks, eh! (Ps how do you post pictures?) I got some, to explain it better.

This is something that the EHM or Pro-vent will not fix?

Are you sure it is coming from the bottom of the turbo? You can tighten the 2 bolts that hold the drain line on and see if that helps.

I had to reuse the crush washers for the turbo oil feed line when I replaced my turbo and it did leak around them. I have replaced them with new washers since.

If the oil is not leaking from the oil supply lines, but rather from the intake hose, then that can be solved with an EHM/Provent. Sometimes it's hard to tell where it's coming from. Take off the hose from the airbox to the turbo and inspect for tears or rotting.
