Default K04 leaking cold side

So, I have been dealing with this for a while and never actually resolved after building the motor.

I'm upgrading to CS turbo anyway but would like to make sure there is no other cause.

So far, I added a shitty oil ebay catch can between valve cover and the intake. It is definitely getting some oil as its so shit that its leaking. I also picked up a gen2 valve cover as they made some improvements(not installed yet need powdercoat). However, I checked my intake today and it is completely dry. My cold side is leaking bad, like its leaking outside the pipes and getting all over the turbo.

This is my plan:

1. Replace VC with gen2.
2. Inspect drain line to make sure there is nothing preventing oil from getting out of the turbo.
3. Throw the k04 in the trash can? And install CS turbo?


Does it seem reasonable to assume that it is the turbo leaking?

I would appreciate any input as I want to get this resolved.

Let me see if I got this right.
Built motor (issue was there before building motor)
Catch can between VC and Intake is catching a bunch of oil.

Questions.
PCV valve replaced? Compression/Leakdown performed?

Sorry, I rebuilt the turbo with rotomaster CHRA when I built the motor.

Compression 180 across the board. PCV replaced and I have vented catch can between PCV and IM.

This doesn't address your leak but Damond Motorsports recommends venting the VC to intake OCC rather than the PCV to IM OCC when doing a dual OCC setup. It doesn't make sense to me but Matt explained it to me twice.

Is that CHRA a true K04 or some kind of hybrid? Is it the correct K04 variant? Not familiar with that company. Is there any shaft play suggesting that journal bearing seals may not be in spec or too much oil clearance? What banjo bolt is in place on the oil line? Maybe too much oil pressure pushing oil past the seals?
