I checked the oil in my vanagon today.  I'm overfilled a bit.  In the 
vanagon's 50 deg setup that'll blast the oil out the crankcase vent for sure.  I had 
to swap the pan in order to add the turbo oil return line.  When I refilled it 
I didn't consider that I hadn't changed filter.  I think I'll wait on 
ordering any turbo parts.  Drain a little oil out and see if it clears itself up.  I 
imagine the worst that will happen if the turbo is leaking oil is it will foul 
my intercooler, which it probably already has.  Put the big rear tires on 
today, I think I'll take it to work tomorrow.  If I get sleepy after lunch I can 
pull out the bed and nap. :- )
