Oil leak!

Hi all,

I moved the truck and noticed it's leaking oil. It's not much and its excactly or really close below the turbo... I also noticed a strange whistle like a vac leak while the turbo is spooling... could the leak and the whistle be related???? vac readings have remained the same as before the leak... I would just like to know what/where should I star looking to solve it.

thanx!

im gonna take a wild stab and say its the turbo oil return line at the bottom of the turbo. thats the black tube with the 2 bolts. there is a gasket in there, and the only reason im suggesting it is cause mine was leaking recntly too, actually it was leaking all the way to and from Chicago (oops), but only a little bit. I ended up making a cork gasket and loading it up with copper RTV (being VERY careful not to get any in the oil hole), bolted it up, and since then, no more leak.

hope that helps ya.
