Default Oil leak between turbo and manifold?

I'm getting some oil leaking out from my manifold. I tried to search it on the threads bud seems like it's more common to happen between the head and the manifold were as mines leaking right were the turbo bolts on.. what do you guys think?

Most likley its comming out of the valve guides , and its seeping into the cracks in the manifold gaskets ..

do you think it could possibly be a bad seal in the turbo? :/

No ususally the oil would go into one of 2 places .. down pipe or CAC ... not back to manifold ... whith the engine running there would be too much pressure and the oil would not be able to settle in manifold area..


Note: how ever it is worth checking turbo, in/out play and up/down play .... and if there is infact a presence of oil anywhere in turbo ...

Keep us posted

I would limit your driving until your turbo get inspected .... it could pop and that would be real bad !!!!
