Default oil leaking from rubber pipe under the turbo

as above, got a classic, diagnosed an oil leak to be coming from a plastic 90 degree pipe under the turbo, is this the oil return for the turbo?

thanks

Yes it sounds like the oil return ....should be able to replace without removing the turbo but will require small hands!

Looked up buying a new pipe, any they all seem to be straight pieces? This pipe is a 90 degree elbow :s

The only standard 90 degree fitting under the turbo is the coolant supply off the back of the R/H head - got any pictures of the pipe you need ??
Turbo drain pipe should be straight and direct onto the metal pipe returning it to the R/H head otherwise it can back up and flood the CHRA of the turbo.
