Oil in the turbo isn't excessive it's just from where the rocker breather meets the air intake pipe. Is there any play in the shaft itself?

on i'll try answer all this haha
p.gasket will be high grade i dont like using cheap $h1t when its going to be an ass to change again.(also whats your thoughts on my bubbles)
no change in smoke
cant see anything on any weep off pipes but then i could very well be looking at the wrong things. for them out there that done know i like pics hehe
lift pump is less than 2 months old but if you guys think its worth it im willing to get a new gasket take it back off and check it out.
the breather from the turbo inlet pipe to the big ass filter bolted to the side of the rocker (is this the breather of possible blockage) if so im all for whipping that off and checking it out

Do the water pipes get hard once it's up to temperature? Is it using any water? Is the oil nice and black amd keeping to the same level on the dipstick?

not checked the pipes when hot will do when i put it back together tomorrow. water i have been randomly losing on and off for months but thats a whole other story lol oil looks good nice and black cant see any crap in it. tomorrow at some point i'll start it and take the rocker cap off see if she spits anything up at me
cant say i've noticed the oil level changing when i've checked but to be honest when i look its normally out check its between min and max put it back i dont really pay attention to where between it is.

If your p gasket has been leaking you will loose fluid but one day it'll leak properly and cook your block like this one did
