Re: Oil leak in turbo van
Check the oil return hose coming from the turbo to the back of the block.

Re: Oil leak in turbo van
If you tear down the belt side of the engine, you should be able to see where the leak is. My bet would be the aux shaft seal or crank seal is bad. The rotating parts, crank sprocket and aux shaft sprocket sort of just wing that oil in all directions. Only down side is the timing belt needs to come off to change either out. The crank sprocket requires either a special tool or the ability to make your own tool to remove, if that is where the leak is. With that many miles on engine, they probably should both be replaced.
One other place to look for a leak is the oil galley plug located directly behind the aux. shaft sprocket. That is a 5/8" core plug. Those can leak too. Here is a couple pics for you. In the last attachment, you can barely see the core plug sticking out past the top of the aux. shaft sprocket at about an 11 o'clock position behind the aux shaft.
Good luck,
