To properly cool down a 1981 Turbo Charger Trans Am, allow the engine to idle for about 5-10 minutes after driving, especially if it has been under heavy load or high RPMs. This idling period helps to reduce turbocharger temperatures by allowing the oil to circulate and cool the turbo. Avoid turning off the engine immediately after driving, as this can lead to oil coking in the turbo bearing due to residual heat. Regularly checking and maintaining oil levels and quality is also essential for optimal turbo performance.
look on the back of the engine on the drivers side just in back of the distributor.

turbos are cooled with oil and that oil is supplied from oil pressure lines. check out the turbo and trace the lines; they should return to the oil pan.
If you look at the TURBO you will see that it has a oil line that hooks to it. The oil seal starts leaking and oil from the engine runs inside of the turbo and makes an oily mess in turbo and Intake hose. Alot of times the engine will smoke out of the exhaust. You need to replace TURBO.
A loud whining noise, excessive oil consumption, loss of power, and a vehicle that smokes can be symptoms of a failing turbo. Also, a failed turbo sometimes leaks oil that can be seen on the body of the turbo, and a failing turbo many times deposits oil on the piping that leads to the throttle body.

you may have another bad turbo, or could even be bad rings with the oil leaking into your turbo, how long after you installed the turbo did it start happening again?
The oil sending unit is located on the top of the turbo on the 94 turbo diesel 7.3
if your turbo is damaged then BIG no. Thru your turbo goes coolant and oil. I've seen dead saabs that got engine damaged because the turbo blew and all the oil leaked out.
check the engine and the oil
If the oil pressure light goes on in a MK4 Golf Turbo make sure the oil used is rated from VW. Putting the wrong type of oil in the Golf Turbo continuously can cause the oil pressure warning light to go on.
