Default Blocked Turbo Oil Return

Just noticed that my oil return pipe has a hefty kink in it. My turbo has been leaking oil loads lately and all my boost pipes are coated in oil.

I'm currently in the process of removing the turbo and fitting another turbo. With turbo's, is it a case of once turbo oil seals are gone, thats it, they are shagged, or if I fix the cause, it'll be alright.

It's a GT28R.

I ran pressure into both feed and return once and managed to get away with it once rectified. I guess you wont know till you try it.

That kink may have been why it was leaking oil and filling the hoses up with oil. The oil had no where to go.
