Scrappydoo - The banjo bolt seems fine from the outside. No leaks or smoke there.

Alright, here's an update. After driving around alot this morning, and having the car sit for about 2 hours. I started it back up, and after a few mins alittle bit of smoke started to come out the tailpipe. It had a slight burnt rubbery smell to it, much like burning oil. I drove it around the block, and didn't notice much smoke out the back. So I shut the car off opened the hood, and noticed a few drops off liquid on my CV boot, directly below the Turbo-DP. I fetched a little mirror and looked underneath the turbo. I saw, that the lowest bolt on the Turbo-DP had liquid on and around it. I took some paper towel to dab it in the liquid, and it was slippery and brown...oil.

I took off the intercooler to check the IC hose, TB and compressor for oil build up. Nothing, TB, IC and IC hose are all clean. While the compressor has a very very think layer of oil.

With this info, does it lock down the bad oil seal theory?
