Turbo leaking oil

What to do if turbo leaks oil. In the past few days, the oil drops appear under the car. Every day more and more. When we lifted the car, I saw that the oil came from the aluminum part of the turbine. The engine is working normally, no smoke from the exhaust pipe. I wonder how oil can leak in that place and not go into the engine. Any explanation or experience?

Turbo oil feed or return pipe or gaskets.

No ,Both connections are completely dry. Checked very carefully. Oil comes from behind the aluminium part of the turbo. I 'il probably have to lift the body again and get the turbo out.

That doesnt sound good.
Have you checked in your intercooler pipework for the presence of oil?

My body is in the air and the turbo is removed. Tomorrow I'il send Turbo to a special workshop to figure out what the cause is for leaks. I am the owner of the car less than a year and I do not know his history but saw that turbo has already been swapped with Reconditiond one. More news next week.
