Those and the cam plugs are common sourc es of oil leaks. Clean it up and check it again after driving for a few days. The leaking is usually visable on the back og the engine...wipe it w/ a shop cloth a few days after you've cleaned it to see if the area is damp.

I just had a similar problem and the only way to find it is to clean everything and then look after each drive. Mine ended up coming from the return line from the turbo to the upper pan. The boss pressed into the opening had let go and oil was weeping from between the machined opening in the pan and the mounting for the return line.

Do you even know if that's the problem? There are lots of places oil could leak from. My fix cost me $2 but that doesn't matter unles you're actually leaking from the turbo return lines? Are you?
