Turbo drain hose leak?

Driving down the road and when I parked my truck the whole bottom side of my truck was covered in oil. Looked for the leak and tracked it down to the turbo drain tube. It has one thin metal gasket and is on there pretty tight. But that's the source of the leak. Anybody now what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Which end is leaking? Is it the turbo end? If so there is a gasket. Or do you have a problem where the hose plugs into the oil pan?

Stock turbo? If you're sure it's leaking from the turbo drain at the turbo, the question is what disturbed/moved the drain to cause it to leak? It doesn't take a lot of force on the drain to cause a leak. (ask me how I know) I would want to know what caused it. Did you do some work recently and hit it, or is there another problem?
You can get a new gasket for $1 from any place that has cummins parts. #4931365.
