38r leaking oil into spider

How does the oil travel back to the turbo?

Rusty

Originally routed, oil residue would have collected in the intercooler

When you're making considerable boost, and then a boot blows off, the air takes the path of least resistance. Which I "assume" could act like a vacuum and suck oil and air from the intercooler.

Mine just did this exact thing last weekend.

Pulled the boot today, there was a little residual oil in the boot but the spider was dry
Cranked the truck and no oil coming from the turbo
I guess all is good

Just keep an eye on it. A friends turbo did the same thing....then it started leaking again and we had to get a new turbo...LOL.

I'll probably look again if the boot blows off
Never had this issue before and this turbo has about 55k miles on it

(Dieselsite does not promote the use of hairspray for boots, but Jennifer@Dieselsite could not resist the use of a good gif. +1)
