Default leaking oil!!!

Well today i noticed two spots under my car......it was fine this morning, then when i lifted up the rear end to polish my exhaust (yes i know polish my exhaust) i noticed spots when i pulled out. Im not sure if me lifting it had anything to do with it but thats the first ive seen. ive been boosted for about 20,000 miles with NO problems, then today of all days its leaks. i didnt even drive it today....what gives? anyone have any ideas? im having trouble fathoming why something would just out of the blue start to leak today?

check your oil feed setup...take out your fittings/line...add some sealent, retighten and reinstall. I had that similar problem and just did what i stated above, give it a try it cant hurt

Check your oil return, thats an EXTREMLY common thing to leak after going turbo.
