Oil leak from driver side turbo???

How hard is it to fit new oil feed washers to turbo when in the car can it be done i have a big drip i changed the gasket on the oil return pipe but it looks like the leak is coming from above this?any pointers would be greatly appreciated:clap:

No washers on the turbo feed into the turbo,& similar set up to brake pipes, maybe if you get an extra nip on the fitting.

Lots of times any oil dripping off the turbo has dripped from the rocker covers above.

well the oil pipes are metal so i would rule out there a split oil line as it would be pissing all over the place with the engine On ...

Leaking banjo bolt is a poss but not that common at all

 

the rubber joiner pipe on the tub drain line is a Poss or i would say most likely to be the Rocker cover seal

as this sits no more than 3" from top of the turbo and does have a habit of Leaking and on to the Turbos/manifolds

I had a major leak from my VTC solenoids, one much much worse than the other, lost most my oil if I put my foot down, made a right mess, have a look at the back of the rockers and the bulkhead, for spray...
