Not exacly sure what hose is leaking its right by the oil filter. Comes off the front side of housing(front of vehicle). Is there a oring on this line. It seems to drip oil all of the time.

Looks like a brake line nut.
 
Any pic?.

There is an oil line that feeds the turbo, right in front of the Oil Filter,
It doesn't use an O ring, You can take it off, Clean all very good and put it back on, It can stop leaking.

But, your best choice is to get another line and put it on, That should fix the Problem.

Also, There is the Oil Sensor on one side of the line, Check that too.

Some times they leak, and all what you need is to replace the sensor.


Clean all the area very good.
Lift up the car.
Turn it ON.
Go Under neath.
And check where the leak is coming from.
