Are you sure the turbo itself is leaking?
The first thing I would do is remove the hose from the front of the turbo, the hose that comes down from the air cleaner. Have a look inside the hose from both ends. You may find the trail of oil starts where the PCV hose (from the rocker cover) joins the main inlet hose. If this is the case then the oil you are seeing may just be crank case ventilation oil mist. The best way to fix this is to fit a PCV filter or catch can.
