oil coming out of the exhaust

i bought a turbo'd 94 civic with 98 integra ls swap... which i found on this site.... a month after the car was purchased.. i started to notice small amounts of oil on my bumper... but never saw any smoke... then about two months after getting it... i started to notice that there was smoke .... small and heavy amounts of oil on my bumper... so i stopped driving it... and took it to a couple shops... they said i had no return line for my remounted turbo and that overpressurized the engine... but they wouldnt tell me what part and whether they could work on it... so if anyone knows what seals i should replace get at me... and if anyone knows how to install a return line for a turbo that would be helpful to....

Re: oil coming out of the exhaust
I didn't know you could run oil to a turbo w/o a return line. Wouldn't that just eat up the oil and almost instantly kill the turbo? And whats a remounted turbo? A rearmounted turbo?
