Are you still using the original Turbo bolts? Maybe the threads have worn enough to loosen easily?
If you have replaced them, are they the OEM style or bolt and washer?
I would say that if your pedestal was warped, you would never get it to seal from the get-go.

Used the original oem when I did it about 6 months ago . Pulled the truck into the shop tonight to clean the inside and when I pulled it out there was a puddle where it was parked , no puddle outside before I pulled it in so it just started when I pulled the truck outside to park it. Guess I should have left the inside dirty !!

Used the old ones or bought new?
Do you have the CCV mod? If so, check and make sure that the hose is not restricted and causing oil to blow by a seal or putting too much pressure on the turbo o-rings and causing them to blow.

I used the original ones ( bolts ) and I do have the ccv mod that just vents out of the hose , no can . Tearing it down today for glow plugs and a new compressor wheel , so I should be able to look around and see if in fact it is the o-ring , almost sure that that is the problem. Should I consider doing something differant with the ccv hose or routing ?

If your just venting the CCV out a hose no trap, should not be a problem unless you got a low spot along the hose somewhere! You may want to clean things up in the valley to find out where or what is leaking, before you take things apart to do the work your planing on doing to day ( wheel, glowplugs ect.) That way you can fix the oil leak problem while you up in there! Could be one of the oil line fittings instead of the turbo pedestal orings! Should find where its leaking from first! Just a thought.........Don't want to tear things apart twice...
