Default Leaking Oil "Turbo?"

My wife has a 2004 V70 2.5t. It has been bullet proof with no issues up to 125k miles on it. I had the oil changed a month ago and I started to see oil drops under the car. I thought maybe it was something from the oil change. I took it back and they said it looked like it was from the turbo, and running down to the intercooler. I am pretty handy in the garage but I have not really worked on this car (besides brakes, hubs. etc..) nor know what the correct course of action should be. I have heard it could be the oil lines, how would I tell? Well, I hope someone reads this and can help me out with where to start. Thanks

all of volvo turbos leak depending on where its coming from if they just saw oil dripping from the turbo case then thats normal. you should check the gasket for the oil pipe that goes from the turbo to the engine. that is a fairly common problem
