I Have that problem too, couple drops here and there, I think it may be a leaky oil pan gasket, But I heard its a bitch to install, b/c you have to remove a load of bolts, plus its a good 4-5 hrs for a shop to do..

Yeah I have the same problem too. Little drops here and there. I have to rebuild my turbos soon, even though i've been telling myself that for a year now, because they are smoking. I didn't drive the car for 3 weeks and I drove I took it for a drive this weekend I can smell it, or sometimes I am at a stop and I see smoke coming out from underneath the front of the car. I figured it was the turbos becuase when I check the oil it is fine, have any of you had that problem with the smoke coming out the front end?

I had about three oil leaks fixed last fall. You can probably rule out the turbo oil lines. If it's leaking from there, it will usually be more than just a drop or two. When mine leaked, it was a mild river under the car.

After that, I had the gaskets replaced on the intake manifold and the oil pan resealed. Since then, I've been drop free.
