oiil leak

hey guys, have a oil leak that looks to be coming from around the grommet under the turbo around the valley. when starting vehicle, the oil starts leaking about 5 seconds after starting and filling the rear of the valley pan and running out the drain in the rear dripping on the passenger side and onto the exhaust. strange thing is I just cant find exactly where its coming from. any help would be helpful

I found that the valley pan turbo drain grommet does not touch to the return drain pedestal.should the grommet be all the way on the return pedestal or should there be a space between the two? that is where the oil is coming out of.

Sounds like the grommet needs to be replaced.
