hey i got a 1995 eagle talon tsi awd

i noticed an oil leak and i needed a oil change anyway so i took it to the automotive repair place

so there is a leak and they say either from the head gasket area or the turbo area but didnt have time today to dig up in the engine..

my questions are what could have caused this how much it will cost to fix
 
Ah thats kinda needle in a haystack.

Headgasket? head not retorqued after replacment.
Turbo area? Oil feedback line with a oil, Bad seals
Oil psi sending uni? leaking under load.
Leaking valve cover ?

This could be anything.
Little more info would be needed.

Diag dart board game...... Who will hit the bullseye?
 
im taking it to the mistubishi dealer tommorow to get it looked at in more detail hopefully its not that much money or else im gonna have to sell the car
 
I had a similar problem when I first got my DSM, If its small it may be the oil return line off of the turbo, thats what mine was. Theres a chance it could be headgasket but for your sake I hope that's not it.
