Oil leak - possibilities

[Tiny Tim]

Nope, not on about the 'usual' under the sump area when parked up, but i noticed the other week that there was oil on my actuator... new (secondhand) turbo and new actuator were fitted recently, but does anyone have any suggestions as to where it coming from?

My first guess would be the oil return from the turbo, anyone else? - Im not going to get the chance to have a proper look til Saturday.

check the renowned turbo oil feed pipe - on the flexi connection, could be spraying upwards to the actuator and about to let go :S

Thats a negative Joffster.... sorry, should have mentioned, brand new braided oil feed pipe.. obviously i'll check the connectors, but the pipe itself will be fine.

my bet is that its the oil return pipe, prob the gasket weeping between the pipe and turbo
