Oil leak with pic.

Found the culprit! slight oil leak from one of the 6 bolts on the turbine housing.

The pics taken from underneath the turbo, please dont tell me the turbos stuffed cos i had it reconditioned 2 months ago, is it possible to just tighten it up?

Could be the banjo bolts try to tighten them up a little, check the torque specs just to be safe.

I'd guess it is the oil return line or line derty said, the banjo bolt on top of the turbos.

The bolt that I think you've taken pictures of does not have oil on the other side of it, it has exhaust.
