oil leak at turbo

Came outside to see a trail of oil on the frame in the passenger side front wheel well. Open the hood and oil everywhere. Where can I get a gasket for the turbo oil return line for less than my left foot? Also, anything I should know when replacing the gasket? Thanks

My local Dodge dealer only wanted a buck for the return gasket.

Sure it wasn't the vent line for the front differential that puked oil? It's under the airbox and will make quite a mess and is very common with no cure. Hard to imagine the return seal leaking out of nowhere unless you had it disconnected recently.

that's kinda what I was thinking Bill, but stranger things have happened. might also check the integrity of the section of rubber hose and clamps on the drain tube as well.

Well the only thing I can think of is when I disconnected the turbo from the exhaust manifold to install the pyro probe. But the line going down off the bottom of the turbo connects to a flex line so it shouldnt have torqued it. Dodge didnt have the seal so I will RTV away until I get one.
