Oil on backend of Oracle Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Justin installed the STS Turbo on his V-6 2010 Camaro and I bought it last Friday. I'm a newbie when it comes to a Turbo.
Some call it the "Oracle Camaro" since yes I did buy it from Oracle Lighting Co. in New Orleans.
The STS Turbo.com is apparently No longer in business and I can't get a answer from Justin. The exhaust side of the Turbo shoots out the tailpipe oil all over the back end. Is this normally or did I get screwed? Easy fix? Or can I install a Oil Catch Can and if so would it be between the PCV valve & intake/Supercharger? I'm just guessing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hope that's a Easy fix . Don't now how much you bought it for , but for his asking price You would expect not to have a kind of issues .

is it only on startup?, if so you need to install a check valve on the oil feed at the turbo to stop oil from pooling in the chra after the car shuts off and sits for a long time. If the oil spray is constant, could be mnay things, would start with the pcv system though as you mentioned already.

Living in a rural area as I do can be tough finding someone that knows about turbo but I finally have so hopefully my problem will be fixed sometime early in December.

Excessive oil in the exhaust can also mean the turbo is wasted and needs to be rebuilt/replaced. If you don't know how to diag it, take it to someone who does instead of throwing parts at it from forum advice.
