so ive recently changed my turbo, and all is working fine. however ive put some new oil in but its not reading on my dipstick. ive put about 3 litres in so far as i wasnt to sure how much oil was left in the sump. after starting the car up after the new turbo was on, i left it running on idle for about 10 mins to get some oil circulation. then after it cleared itself i took it for a little spin. when i got back and parked up i noticed i had left a trail of oil. i looked under my car and it was dripping from my front subframe. im not too sure if its just the old oil running off the engine from oil spills that happened when changing the turbo. or its leaking from somewhere. its hard to tell as its now dark. any suggestions as too why its not reading on my dipstick or where the oil may be coming from. the oil coming off the subframe is very black and dirty and does not look lke fresh oil. (sorry for the lengthy thread) :/
