I just tested it, and I'm not sure where it's leaking from. the turbo feed line was totally dry, everything was totally dry and stayed dry. I haven't cleaned off the bottom of the engine yet, because the ENTIRE bottom of the car is covered in oil.

The small lines that go to the AC condenser (looks like a thin radiator) shouldn't have oil in them.

Can you provide any more photos?
What should I get a photo of?

npretnar, thanks for the offer I'll remember that. Currently I'm in St. Louis and it's in the garage.

I was very determined to get it right when I put it together, but maybe it came out with a bump, it doesn't sit well. But I don't think that should cause such a massive increase in oil leakage.
