The factory turbo has 2 lines for oil and 2 lines for coolant. Neither should look like you describe.
I would check your oil and check your coolant to make sure they have a normal color to them.
You may want to get a leakdown and compression test done on your engine as well.

If it is a oil line and it looks like choclate milk then i would say that its a good sign of a blown head gasket as that is the color that is made when oil and coolant meet. So I would listen jekly but thats just my :2cents:

its could be oil in your coolant line either way i would get the motor tested to be safe

to get the turbo off i had to cut some metal line that ran from under the turbo to the block. the bolt holdin it on is a 28mm and i cant get it off. me and my buddy had a breaker bar 2 feet long and a big pole to get it off. no luck. what do u suggest to get it off. also how do i go about puttin oil in the car now that i have drained all oil out. do u just put it in the oil filler cap and go about my bussines or do i have to put oil in the turbo some how? what is a safe boost with a 3" down pipe, xspower exhaust manifold and stock i/c? i have apexi gt spec also. look at my cardomain page and tell me if u think i need to do upgraded fuel injectors and such. www.cardomain.com/id/mr2_sexy11
