Is the turbo return under much pressure when car is moving/under load as such?

Could be a number of different things, oil feed to the turbo, weeping out between the block parts (the block has 3 parts) gasket on the oil squirter jets.

Another favourite, the rocker cover leaks, and runs down the back of the engine.

I'm just trying to think what else is in that area.

rear crank seal is a favorite as well...oil seal on the block from turbo return is a very common leak point and if the pipe is a bit bent or squashed it wont seal right and u may need to resort to loads of sealant.

Seems to be my cam cover leaking on to my exhaust manifold. I used all the proper sealer on it bloody thing. Think its worth running a bead of sealer down the back of the cover? It gets so hot there could melt the sealer.
