hey guys, there seem to be a lot of threads like this... so here goes another one

1) when removing the lock carrier, i disconnected the two large air hoses from the bottom, and when i did oil dripped out from the one on the left side. there wasnt too much, but more than I was comfortable with seeing (probably about 2 ounces). is this a result of normal blow-by on a turbo'd car without a catch can, or is it something i should be worried about?

2) when removing the dampner pulley, the write-up states to hold the pulley in place with a socket on a breaker bar while loosening the 4 hex bolts. well, i didnt need to do that - the pulley stayed in place while i loosened the bolts without trouble. should be able to spin easily?

thanks in advance,
Zach

The oil is probably blow by from the turbo.

Regarding the gear, you should be OK if it didn't move.
