Oil leak, turbo intake hose?

Started leaking a ton of oil today, tracing it back it looks like it's coming from the turbo intake hoses. I think that's what they are called, from everything I have found online. I hope that's where it's coming from, if it is where can I get replacement hoses? I can't find them at any store! Thanks for any help!

well... if you're talking about the orange boot in the picture, that is almost for sure not the source of your leak. Turbo pedestal o-rings is a likely culprit if you have determined that the oil is not coming from the front part of the engine valley.

Yeah I was thinking it was from the orange tubes. There were really the only thing with fresh oil on them. There is oil in the engine valley, where would that be from? Thanks for the help

Oil rail plugs, high pressure oil lines, turbo pedestal O rings, the list goes on!

Are you talking about the oranges ones on the y-pipe, going into the intake plenums? Those look like the stock boots. They are prone to become saturated and leak over time. They can leak oil. Typically it does not leave a puddle in the valley but they can leak oil. Remember the CCV vents into the intake hose, so oil fumes are present.

I was going to change those orange hoses and the pedestal o-rings. How would I check those high pressure oil lines and is a diagram somewhere that shows where everything is at?
