how did you take the manifold off?

check around the oil feed on the turbo.

i bought the car already modded and the manifold is easy to remove from the engine without taking downpipes and such loose. The stock studs have been removed and thru bolts are used. It is really so much oil I cant tell where it is coming from, but I can see it blowing onto the lower portion of the new mani from the v band area.
