02 wrx oil leak
I was on the freeway in 5th gear. I go to pass a semi (not going more than 70) then i hear a pop. i notice no power loss or boost leak. i pulled over and noticed oil leaking and smoking from engine. I immediately killed the engine and towed it to my house. after getting it home I inspected under the car. Oil everywhere it seemed like. But alot leaking around the turbo. I used degreaser and cleaned it best i could. I filled up with more oil (about 2 1/4 quarts). I started the motor and saw no leaks. Let motor idle for about 10-15 min. no leak. Took it down the street no leak no smoke. Boosted it a little.....boom smoke and leaking like a stuck pig. I assume its the oil return line but im not ase certified and would like your opinion. So if you have read this far thanks and id appreciate your input.
Thanks
