I read here tsb for this problem, I changed outlet gasket of the turbo,  leak again, seems to come from above. except that I do not see the benjo on top turbo, so can not know whether the loss of oil from the top  (entry turbo oil) anyone know how to watch the turbo from to the top?

Has that banjo bolt ever been removed or loosened?

Not sure how you'd observe from above, more likely need to be on a lift looking from below.  In any case, the resolution would appear to be replacement of the turbo oil feed line, not just a gasket:

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

This the best advice.  It is possible that the leak is not even the turbo... Get it I a lift to make sure of the oil origin...

I don't know if this pic of the backside of the 3.5L is 100% applicable to your 2010, gad, the article is from 2008.

Forgot all about that!  You could try an oil leak detection kit as well.  IDK how well those things work on modern turbo engines.

Any luck with tracing that leak, gad?
