Turbo Oil Return Line Leak at Block- just a C900 quirk?

Since I rebuilt "Cole", some 5 years ago....
I have always wondered about the apparent leak that oozes out from the junction of the oil return line and the block. It seems that no amount of sealent and new o-rings can keep that place dry, and I always thought that it had somethgin to do with the TotalSeal Gapless Piston Rings that I used for the rebuild, but I really have no idea, even after these years. I can say that the leak has lessened considerably over time, but there is always oil there whenever I inspect the car when it's up on a lift or I am power-washing the engine and bay...
Any Thoughts fellow sabbers as to why this is happenning?
Peace,
and
"Cole"
