That is probably your problem. It might have been good at first because the oil hadn't made its way past the seals yet.

Install a valve in the line and lower the pressure.

go to the hardware store and ask for a brass needle valve. they are inexpensive. something like this:

if the oil is getting by the seals because of the pressure, that will work.
if the turbo seals are gone, then you know what to do.
