I had to get home so I couldn't get into the leak too much. It appears to be at the top of the turbo. I wasnt really keen on how it seated at the feed line.

This rotomaster turbo has been a weird fitment. I should have returned it but I wanted to get stuff done. So it has something to do with the bolts(old and new ones wouldn't get snug so I got shorter ones) or how its sitting on top

If it's at the top of turbo. It's the gasket. If it's at the oil cooler housing it would be bad alignment or o ring.

You did not bring up the nasty one.
Cracked port that the oil supply line goes into. But that one is not at the top.

Could be some old gasket left on the oil feed at the turbo.

Hopefully it's as easy as the bolts on top. But I'll see tomorrow. But with my flash light I couldn't see any oil up at the cooler as I never even took it off there. I just left it in. I do have the flex line which on a van its probably a necessity. The oil leak just appeared to be from the top supply down to the valley and down the sides
