Too easy oil leak repair?!
I had this burning oil smell coming inside my car and also noticed some smoke coming around the primary turbo so I took the hoses+airpump off and had the turbos in view and just for the heck of it decided to tighted up the oil inlet pipe above the primary turbo and behold!! no more oil smell now smoke! It really can't be this easy, can it? Now I am wondering if I activated some timer and soon my engine and car will explode and take out the whole block in the explosion because a repair has never been this easy so there must be something wrong...
The bolt took about quarter of a turn to tighten up the bolt.

was it loose or did you tighten it past regular torque?
it does look like it was seeping. sometimes squeezing the crush washers with a little more torque will stop the leak, but i feel the best thing to do is use new crush washers... but i can definitely say i've used both methods
