It's coming from the turbo, the pan is giving a drop or two, but the leak is coming from the turbo where it connects to the line. Pics coming fellas, sit tight.

Is this where the leak is coming from? You may want to take an abrasive disc on a grinder to make sure the surface is 100% flat and smooth. Also, a skimmed coating of red RTV on both sides may offer some assistance. Bottom line is that if both surfaces are flat, a thin gasket in between those surfaces will be tightly sandwiched and create that gasket seal. I think the surfaces might not be flush.

Here's the thing, the flange on the line are flat, i took a couple peices of sand paper and made it all smooth. But the turbo flange is causing an issue, cuz it's in an odd position. The only way may be to remove the entire unit. Which i dont want to do.
Perhpas just some silicon high heat rtv i used on my oil pan would work.
