Bad Turbo?

I think the oil return from my turbo is restricted and oil is coming out if the compressor inlet. If i unrestrict the return should it be ok, or is the seal in the turbo bad now? Thanks

If the seal is already leaking it's too late AFAIK. Run into the issue before and unrestricting it didn't help... Had to be rebuilt.
