I'm starting to think you're right drew... It looked like it was coming from the coolant AN fitting on the turbo.

Posting just for ty.

I wouldnt think it would be yellowish green seeing your still running dexcool.wouldnt it be orangish redish or even more brown if it was coolant with oil,and it usually turns milky when mixed together.

Well the **** that we put in before was the lime green stuff... the 'mixes with all' coolant. So orange plus lime green could make kind of a gold... maybe.

Superdark isn't a good sign..... When did you change you oil last? Your engine was just built a while back right?

It's at 34% according to the thing on the dash. I think I'm gonna change it on Wednesday though. I run full synthetic too.

Ya I know you need to change the oil and filter.its been a bit.but regardless thats not the problem here.I wonder if you have the oil feed and coolant feed fitting leaking and mixing,or maybe it was leftover when Jason built it and its just been sitting there?

The way the oil feed and coolant feed are positioned on the 2860, it could leak and mix. Also the C shaped "gasket" on the fitting could be cracked. The turbo and exhaust manifold are the only things exposed that get hot enough to congeal coolant or an oil and coolant mixture.

The crush washers was what I was referring to. If you take them out they should have a top and bottom washer with a small strip connecting them.

This is correct.Steve would know better than me but the new turbo should have came with new washers>?

And ya I knew it was the same 2860rs with larger exhaust housing,just wasnt sure if it shared the same CHRA
