On the last picture it looks like there is oil leaking from between the turbine housing and the downpipe... if that's the case... you've got a problem for sure

Does it smoke a ton? If oil was leaking into your turbine housing from the seal there would be a very noticeable amount of smoke...

That sucks man....

it could be the return line, cuz if the oil's got not place to go, it pushes thru the seals, on both sides.
a better pic of the oil line would be nice.
