Recently, I had the turbo inlet gasket fail on my redtop sr20det. Car is a '95 240sx.

I replaced the gasket, as well as having changed several broken studs from the manifold to the turbo.

That's not my issue though, after having done this, I began driving the car. Things were going great, until I started noticing what seemed to be a layer of oil residue on the backside of my car.. Bumper, taillights..part of the trunk. I know my valve cover is leaking, that's obvious, there's a light coat of oil around the topside of the head, but it's not that big of a leak. I changed my oil monday, and have burnt through close to four quarters as of today (thursday).

I found a crack in one of the hoses that taps into the VC that goes back to the block rather than the one that goes from the VC back to the catch can. I noticed oil buildup on the side of the head below the turbo manifold, and buildup where the oil feed/return tap was on the turbo, however neither of the fittings were loose.

Would it be possible for THAT much oil to blow through the PCV hose? It doesn't seem to have any buildup on it.

Any help is muchly appreciated, full synthetic isn't cheap.
