Have you checked the downpipe coming off the turbo for oil? Mine did that when the turbo started pushing oil out of the turbine seal.
Lord I despise the thought of pulling it lol. I have not checked that, I guess I have hopes of if it was only doing this when warm, and because the Turbo is fairly new that it was the least likely.

When mine did it I could see it dripping off of the V-band clamp. Mine was a GTP38R that was only a few months old...

This is a KC (stage 1 drop in) I certainly hope the build quality is better. We also had a 38R that locked up, only a couple years old, and very low mileage, then read they had a run of bad ones. Bought the KC for rebuildable, got lucky that it also performs substantially better too, especially towing. But I'll look into it once I can have more time with the truck again.
