Turbo Question: Oil Leak

Last week I got an oil change. While on the lift I was directed to an oil leak at the rear end of the turbo. The oil was at the bottom where the (I assume oil lines come in and out) and no oil was on the top. Is it possible that it is just the lines and the crush washer? I don't want to get new turbos but 'All Things Must Pass' Hey can anyone here < 25 tell me who put out the album?

The oil return lines are a common leak point. Replace the gaskets (about $5 each from mazda but some work to get at)
