Gee, it almost sounds like a high pressure pump o ring leaking. Ya think I would indicate that to the dealer (like I know what i'm talkin about) NOT ME !!
Let the brain surgeon figure it out. After all he's the one making the big bucks.

I just took mine in for this same problem. It turned out to be something else but the service writer told me that the 02's have a problem with one of the head bolts coming out and as has been mentioned here, the turbo pedestals leak.
