Nobody had any ideas....I just got the truck running tonight and I have some oil coming from out the exhaust of the turbo......oil pressure was 60-70 psi...I didnt drive it just boosted it in the shop with the brakes....got it to around 1800 rpm and noticed oil was coming up out the exhaust......any ideas......I am running 5-30 break-in oil and was wondering if it was so thin it was blowing by.....

yes and when I say cold it is 70 in the shop

Have you let the motor get up to operating temp? My truck will crank that high but it will slowly come back down as heat builds.

You didnt have any engine failures before the build that would have wrecked the turbos? If it is because of the thin oil I would assume that it would be leaking on the compressor side also.
