M35A2 turbo...

[SCM35A2]

Hey guys, today while doing some work on my truck I noticed oil on the back of the turbo housing/exhaust outlet side at the bottom. I haven't been able to drive my truck any over the past two weeks, work has been keeping me busy. However every few days I'll crank it up & let it run some. I did some searching on here & from what I read it seems that these engines-(muti-fuel) don't like long idle periods, that doing so will cause "turbo slobber". From the pic I took today could that be my issue or do you guys think the seals in the turbo need to be replaced? The oil leaking is real think & black a **** too! In a few weeks a buddy of mine who does heavy wheel repairs is going to help me do some winter maintenance & I'd like to fix this issue too. Thanks guys

I would take it out for a hard run to burn off any oil and see if it continues. These engines need to be leaned on some and run hard. Short runs and little load allows some buildup so go run it.

I was thinking that too, but I wanted to be sure before I drove it. Ill get her out this week & well see what happens. Thanks for the help sir.
