It could be the HPOP o-rings, could be the turbo to pedestal o-rings, could be the pedestal to block o-rings, could be the EBPV lever. Just need to climb up on top and see what it is.

You may need to re-torque the bolts. But like Rick said it could be in other area's

I have seen a lot of leaks from the plugs in the back of the heads as well, but most of the time they gush not drip. Let us know where the leak seems to be coming from...
