Default Help, oil leak problem.

I am leaking VERY VERY light (probably 6 drop/hour ) oil around the area where the 6 bolts are to clock the turbo while running. No oil leaks when the engine is off. I checked the charge pipe after the turbo and there is no oil. I have very very light smoke in the morning when the engine is still cold. Should I really worry about it? Or should I just let it go until it gets worst? What is actually leaking?

It is just a leak in the oil seal on the exhaust housing probably... mine leaks like one drop every week.. it wont hurt anything.. if you wanted to you could take the exhaust housing off the turbo and get a new oil seal but i wouldt sweat it.

Cool, I wasn't going to worry about it, but I wanted confirmation. Any other suggestions?
