How did you notice this leak?
Is it coming from inside of the turbo or are you just talking about oil dripping from one of the feed hoses?

i caught it leaking after using the car. It turns out it was the hose to the turbo... lotus want £108 for a replacemrnt and i can only get a replica built in plastic, so iv'e decided to repair the old one by welding.. seems ok now! The leak was through a hole in the pipe, which you could actually see daylight through.
