I believe it is the turbo oil drain grommet. I have an oil leak that appears to be coming from a bracket that's connected to the turbo. The bracket goes from the turbo to what I think is called the valley. Oil is puddling in the valley where the bracket is near a drain hole.

Are you sure its motor oil ? You may be having a leaking injection pump (at the weep hole) or a leaking delivery line and the fuel is picking up dirt on the way to the rear of the valley for drainage. The ats turbo pedesta is a hollow tube andl has an o ring right beneath the turbo and the oil drains into the valley of the engine. The oil should not be coming up unless the grommet is dry rotted or torn OR beneath the pedestal is the valley pan and that should have a hole made in it to help drain the oil into the engine.
Look it over real close and determine what the problem is and get back to us.

thanks bilder. the problem was a dry rotted grommet at the bottom of the pedestal. i was able to get a replacement from the dealership but have not had time to put it on it yet. while i'm at it i am going to replace the cdr valve too, it's amazing how much oil can come out of that thing.
