So I have an Orient Express Turbo and I put a low profile billet aluminum oil pan on to keep from bottoming out on the street. The problem is now the turbo is leaking oil. I took it to my tuner shop and they put a billet sump pump on from Orient Express (tune of $1400 part/labor). They said it wasn't leaking, but its marking its territory every time I park it. I'd really hate to think it needs a turbo rebuild after I just spent $1400 on a pump. Does anyone have any ideas?

I paid 900 or so for my big cc scavenge pump
did it leak b4 the oil pan swap? if not, then i'd say your oil level is the culprit. is it leaking out the compressor side when the bike is on the kickstand? try the center stand if you have one and see if it still leaks. i use starting fluid to clean off oiled areas because the oil runs right off and it dries almost immediately and doesn't stink like carb cleaner.
where does the oil return to? Like what side of the pan? Also what kind of pump did they put in?
