KZN130 Oil Leaking below turbo

[Csurf]

Hi you lot.
I have engine oil leaking from around pipework below turbo, I can't get close enough to see if its just a pipe leaking without major dismantling. Does the turbo run in engine oil?, or is it just a pipe come loose. Its a 3rd Gen 1994 3.0ltr and I love it to bits but does it sound like loads of money?.
Cheers, please be gentle with your answers, I hate pain.
Steve.

The rear bearing on the turbo is has engine oil feed, ours is leaking to and needs doing. The pipe work can split with engine vibrations, or the gasket can fail. Its fiddly, esically the inlet pipe to the block, but not the end of the world.

Thanks Tony.
Thats the pipe in your picture, oil is coming down from the flexible type bend, you say it may be split so is this part available easily and who stocks them.

Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. Steve.

i got parts from dealer last year,
new parts and gaskets

the job to replace it was a bit of a pig, 5-7 hours
you need to remove exhaust pipe where it exits manifold, to got the banjo bolt.
i had rusted and rounded off exhaust bolts, so that took time to cut them off
its just a fiddly job as not much space to work in
