Well, I cant confirm this, but the PO said the motor was supposedly a mazda reman, so it's a stock swap. However, it's missing any kind of reman tag like most I've seen, so either its just rebuilt, or they didn't have tags on them/it fell off.

No oil in the intercooler, but I still run a top mount, so it's kinda hard to get oil into it. Could it be just the exhaust side seal, or do turbo seals normally fail together? Seems like it would make more sense for the turbine side seal to give out first.
