Oil leak below turbo? - Perth-WRX.com

OK, so I just picked my car up from Jim Halls. He fixed a oil leak that was coming from behind the rocker cover - FUCKEN SPEEDWORKS.

Anyway, there is now oil coming from under the turbo which is dropping down onto the exhaust and burning. Does anyone know what this could be? I'm pretty sure it's not coming out of the head.

I'll take it back upto Jim tommorow but any idea's?

There's a puddle about the diameter of a coke can. It's basically below the centre jacking point, but when I got home it was smoking the turbo direction. Wonder if it's the banjo bolt for the turbo oil feed line? *sigh*
