i didnt check if there is any oil in the intake, but im guessing the seals are ok in the turbo? but there is no oil on the outside of the turbo

Did you replace the old gasket for the oil return line? Perhaps it's not closed tightly. It happen to me when I install my Tomei. Check that area.

Last time I had a hard-to-find oil leak I used a bottle of this in my oil and a cheap black light to find the leak.

Worked like a champ! I bought a 1oz bottle at the local auto parts store for like 12 bucks.

No problem, The manufacturer claims it is 100% safe, but just to be safe, I changed my oil right after.

*update*
something i didnt expect. i recently changed to evo 9 lsd internals for my tk. we think its leaking tk fluids from the tk and the seals are bad because there is no oil leaking anywhere when the car is at idle
