Leaky Turbo

[Click]

Hi all
Havent been on here in a while (which is sometimes a good thing because it means the trucks been doing fine !)
Hope you are all fine and stuff, looks like the forum is growing day by day .
Anyway here comes the tech stuff, i seem to have a leak around the bottom of the turbo, there is oil around the bottom of the casing and around the return pipe, i dont seem to be losing to much oil from the system but i am still a little concerned.
Any advise would be great (as always)

Cheers in advance

Snap, gotta pressure wash it down to pin point it more accurately.
Where the pipe comes into the bottom of the turbo are two bolts on a flange with a gasket. They are a bit of a pig to get to but make sure they are done up tight.
Mine looks to be in the same place, but to much oil around to tell for sure so need to wash it down.

I've got a leak in the same area caused by an oil hose from the Alternator going hard and brittle. Pig of a thing to get to. I'm putting it off until my son (7 months) is old enough to take instructions as he is the only member of the household with small enough hands. I should be able to lower him in by holding his legs.
