I have just completed a rebuilt head on a 740 turbo, car new to me, with new gaskets, o-rings, etc. I have oil dripping from the engine and it appears to be coming from two areas.

1. From the right rear corner of the engine in the area of the cam cover. I have replaced both o-rings and the internal seal in the cam mounted distributer and it does not appear to be leaking. Is the cam cover gasket in the corner a problem to seal?

2. From the base of the turbo, in the area where the return pipe exits from the base. The base area is wet with oil and it is hard to see if it is coming from the flange for the reurn pipe or not. Is the base area a place that would normally be wet if the internal seals of the turbo are leaking? Or is most likely from the flange of the reurn pipe? It's hard to tell just by observation.

Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

Gary
