Found the cause of the slight oil leak.

So there was a very slight oil leak coming from somewhre around the Y-pipe. I started to take some pipes off to see where it was coming from and it wasn't too long before I discoverd this...





Did a quick search and looks like it is common for the y-pip to IC tube coupler to rip. I am going to put a 2.75" 4 Ply Silicone Sleeve there which should do the trick and hold up better than the rubber coupler.

Ya, there was not enough oil for me to suspect or start to worry about the oil seals in the turbos going bad. Not yet anyway. LOL
