One way to pinpoint where the leak is coming from is to clean the valley thoroughly and then dust it with talcum powder. Start the engine and then watch carefully for the first sign of oil-stained powder. It may only take a few seconds if the leak is bad.

oh ya wait till my girl sees greasy fingerprints on her talcum powder bottle...are you crazy man?

Jokes aside...if the leak is behind the pedestal how am I going to even get powder back there and then see it.

Very carefully is how...

Maybe use a straw to blow some back there. Maybe squeeze the bottle with your clean hands until your cover the target area.

Think outside the box here sir.

Finally taking the turbo off to install new o rings, Riff Raff Diesel's, Christian approved billet plenum covers and stainless steel braided fuel lines.

Took the boots off that go into the plenum from the spider... Is this little puddle of oil in the boot normal?

Maybe a little excessive but in the ballpark. Do you have oil consumption? If you're going through oil too then you might want to check for signs of leaking at the turbo shaft seals.
