Another problem leaking oil (turbo area)

Ok another question once again. Just got the motr done a 150 miles on it and now it is leaking oil around the turbo area. I cant find the leak though. It is coming from the front turbo area. But not for shure were. Can the turbos leak from a bad seal on the inside and leak out? There is a line going into the front turbo from the bottom. IT is dripping down that but i cant see it leaking out around it.

NO its not smoking. I mean it does right on startup when cold but not bad just a little puff and then it clears up. I hit the oil lines and they are tight. Could the seals on the oil lines be broke or not sealing? I also have a leak in the oil pan looks to be coming out of the motor mounts. LOL I also have a radiator hose leaking. Problems just don’t seem to stop. Damn this is getting to be a real hassle. Just when I am ready to break it in something comes up. What’s next
