The return line looks good. I'm assuming the center section is straight up and down right? What size feed line are you using? What turbo are you using? Are you using a restrictor for the turbo?

Is the 45* fitting compressed fully?

Looks good. My return line has a slight bend down then up to the oil pan and its been that way for 3 years no problem. I would not worry at all. Maybe the turbos oil seals are shot. Shaft play?

That turbo should see 60psi max, and right now its seeing 80+ when the oil is cold. That is enough to push past the seals. In most cases a .060" restrictor is enough to keep the pressure down while supplying enough oil.

like stated before, you need a oil restrictor

and your going to need to reseal your turbo
