It's not on an mx5, it's my other project but you guys know what you are on about so...

I'm getting oil out of the exhaust. The oil feed to the turbo is coming from a filter sandwich plate, and to check the return is good enough I've even ran the engine with the return disconnected and the oil dripping out of the turbo into a pot, but I'm still getting oil from the exhaust.

Any ideas? Is the oil feed to strong it's breaching the seals or is my turbo knackered?

Is the bolt that retains the oil feed pipe to the top of the turbo oil galley a flow restrictor bolt or a regular bolt?
