John,

I've chased oil leaks with fluorsescent dye you can buy at NAPA auto parts (or the Eastwood catalog and probably dozens of other places). It works great.


What would the die tell him that can already be seen in the picture?  I mean, the oil is actually bubbling out.  That would sort of narrow down the possibilities, wouldn't it 8*)
I think John is on the right track with the question, "Why it do dat?"

John, is the oil drain hole partially blocked by the plate?  Could some turbo parts have slid down the hose to get trapped?
