As me and my brother-in-law started the tear down for my car we ran into the rear turbo that has a failed seal. Gonna have to get a new seal. It's unknown how long its been leaking as these rely on oil pressure to maintain lubrication thus preventing burn up and failure. Im hoping i don't need to buy new turbos but hard to say. Again, this IS my first twin turbo 3.5 so bare with me as i learn about it as i go. Wish us luck in the surgery to get the timing chain and water pump replaced as well as my engine coolant temperature sensor thats in the engine block.
***EDIT*** I have found after having the car on the lift, front axle seal is f**ked as well as my water pump IS leaking i caught it early. Im in the deciding stages of selling it unfortunately. I spoke to my brother in law about it as well as my dad and I'll just get this job done and go from there.
