*ugh. Sounds like the O-ring for the oil return pipe is no longer sealing. yeah? Should be a simple fix, but its a real pain to remove and reinstall the turbo's oil return pipe with the turbocharger still installed.
First make sure you can get the replacement O-ring AND the gasket that seals the pipe to the turbo charger.
Second: check and make sure that is the oil leak you are battling.
Other items in that area that may be leaking are: the distributor seal ring, the distributor-shaft seal (internal of the distributor), valve cover gasket, and the cylinder head oil-return passage (just below the distributor where the head meets the engine block).
TECH TIP: If it is in-fact the Turbo oil return Tube seal ring leaking. One way to ease this whole operation is to go ahead and get that lower mounting bracket for the turbo out of the way. gives you just a little be more room to maneuver the pipe in and out.
