I had an issue a while back where the oil feed line to the turbo was leaking at the crimp between the hard pipe and the rubber pipe that feeds the turbo inlet.

I researched this for a while and determined the following:

Option 1- Pull intake manifold and re-run the line.
Option 2- Remove the line by cutting it up and run a new steel braided line. This can be done w/o removal of the intake manifold.
Option 3- If the line is leaking at the crimp right before the turbo, I've seen folks cut the crimp off and replace the rubber line using large t-bolt clamps.

Luckily for me, mine stopped dripping after being driven regularly.
