I have 2 leaks that I can tell of, one if the turbo return line, I went to fix this and one of the allen hex bolts is already stripped out, so I need to somehow get that off, but thats another issue.
When I was under there I noticed that theres also oil leaking from around the turbo area, is there anything easy to fix there? Also I think the turbo air(?) hose that goes into it is shot as its soft and wet.
Any ideas? About a quart every 2 days, but I lose a lot of oil if I spool the turbo up, at that point I can actually smell it when I drive, thanks!
PS- I did have the entire PCV system cleaned a month ago so thats all set.

You're most likely losing it out the return line.
That's right bitches. I'm back.

You should talk to Bay13, he knows his stuff 
Thanks for the replys, the oil is up around the turbo though, the oil return line is on the back of the block (at least the one im talking about).
Unless theres also a return line on the turbo itself?
Thanks for any help.

Try tightening the clamp on the inlet hose to the turbo, the clamp is on the turbo, that will stop some of the oil seepage from the turbo.
Why would the air inlet hose on the turbo be leaking oil? My car uses a bit of oil so I'm wondering.

look at the hose that attaches to the turbo, the plastic hose, then about 1 1/2 inches up the pipe is a huge, maybe not huge, but large the size of your thumb hose that connects there and sucks in the crank case fumes (read, oil mist). Thats why you have or could have a slight oil leak there.
