Interesting. Never even knew they had fluorescent dye for oil leaks.  I've used the stuff for a/c leaks, but never oil leaks.  Good to know for future reference.

The turbo oil line issues go all the way back to the 2011's

2010's to be correct.

I went through 2 sets of them myself.

Mine's in the shop right now, and it looks like I'll add myself to this list for both the feed and return lines on my rear turbo leaking oil. Is there any concern for damage to the turbo itself due to these leaks?

Depends on how big the leak is and how long you drove on it.  If you're not finding puddles under your car to the point where you were constantly adding oil and the car is still driving fine, I wouldn't worry about it.  It was more than likely still getting adequate oil supply with a small leak.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Apparently all the leaks were caught by the plastic underguard, so I never saw a drop. Oil was changed back in the summer, and I just checked it a few days ago and it's still full, so no issues there either. I guess I'm just paranoid!

I'm sure it's fine.  I wouldn't give it another thought.
