Hi, had this myself recently. Turned out to be a small split in the oil return pipe on the underside of the turbo! Worth checking maybe? Good luck!!

Just a push on pipe, there should be a spring clip on both ends but I think they are what caused the split in my pipe. I changed the pipe & swapped the spring clips for jubilee clips, no problems ever since. Only way to do this tho is to take the turbo off!!

Have a good look and make sure the rocker gasket is not leaking, I know you have had it re sealed but they are a pita sometimes. Mine had to be done twice to completly cure the weeping.
