Small Amount of Oil Draining From Front of Turbo
This is on my boss's meat truck. Its an 01 bone stock CTD w/ 265k on it.
When I was doing some routine maintenance/repairs to his truck I noticed a small amount of oil draining from the front of the turbo inlet. My thought is that the seals on the turbo are bad and need to be replaced. Whats anyone else think before I let him know the bad news?

My truck has a little oil in the base of the inlet at every oil change. its no big deal if you don't have a lot of side to side play in the shaft. I'd call it a bad bearing if it is running out and getting sucked into the turbine. You can pull an intercooler boot to see if any has found its way that far into the system to be sure.
