Came up with an idea to have no oil drain or fitting on at all and simply have the oil draining from the turbo into a funnel into the sump.
This eliminates every possible issue from the engine side, oil fittings, draining etc and it enables me to run the engine for as long as I like to ensure all residue oil already inside the compressor is exhausted from previous tests.
Confirming again my oil pressure and oil flow is spot on!
After 30 minutes of running and even revving the engine the leak became noticeably worse which was a relief to me as I became completely lost in what to do after every previous check was fine.
There is some underlying issue with this turbo that needs the pros to work out so I'm happy to say a new one is on its way.
