You two ^^^ :haha:

It could well be the oil seals, although in fairness, if its a brand new turbo done 0 miles and no heat cycles, the seals should be fairly soft not corroded. But as said take the downpipe off, give inside a wipe with your finger, any oil is bad news.
Also remove the air filter from the compressor housing, a slight thin film of oil here is OK, anymore than that and it's not good.

Get the seals done mate as it's one less thing to worry about!

Hope it all works out for you lad.

i had issue with oil leak after installing my forged engine turned out to be my cam cover gasket, i put it in dry,but it didn't seal that great, so i done what mark from cmb told me got some gasket sealent(wearing rubber gloves and ran the gasket through my hands giving the gasket a light coating in sealent and hey presto no more leaks:)

Both crank seals are a pain in the ass really, whilst your at it, if there is no history of an oil pump change, may as well do that at the same time depending how many miles the engine as done.
There is also a seal that can leak from the oil pump, that may be worth a check as well as the timing belt crank seal as it can be miss-diagnosed.

Not a problem mate drop me a pm.
