park level or with the right side lower than the left HA HA HA LOL LOL
just kidding. There is probably oil leaking past a little of the turbo seals. I understand that the seals are not positive and will leak if the oil is gravity feeding onto them. Probably not a big deal.

Thanks for the reply,i've got a trip to the uk coming up so am a little worried that this might lead to a turbo failure[i will check the turbo bearing for play].

on a vanagon, parking that severe could back up oil in the return, it's not that sloped any ways. Without a sloped drain, oil will enter the intake...
it's the way she goes

the way the turbo is set up on a vanagon, even with PERFECT oil seals, if you park it just WRONG, it will still fill the turbo with oil.. EVEN WITH PERFECT SEALS...
