I noticed a bit of smoke coming out the headlight after I shut the car off at night. Looking around, I found a small bit of oil on the skidplate and oil return line. I took it in and the shop tightened the AN oil drain line, but the leak remained, so I got the car on a lift myself and saw the oil was coming from between the two halves, where the iron and aluminum halves meet. Oil was seeping from there and burning and smoking. The car also was smoking during warmup.
I took it to my shop, they removed the turbo and confirmed it was the shaft seal.
No one has seen this happen on a turbo with this few miles (maybe 150-200 miles), it's just my luck.
It's being shipped out for repairs, hopefully it won't take long. I was really digging driving my car with good power.
