Stock Turbo Question (S5 TII)
I took my turbo off because it has been smoking externally. It has almost no shaft play and boost fine. I could see no physical signs of a leak except this:
It's ashy, any way to fix it? What could cause it?

Don't know if its dripping or not, but it wont be soon. I bought the gaskets and o-rings to change on the LIM while I have the turbo off. (best time) So does anyone think it could have been the oil return gasket, thats my only suspect for the smoke, it just felt as if the bolts were looser than I would like when I was taking it off?
