Default oil leak on the back of engine drivers side

hi! i've got an oil leak on the back of my engine, i have "95 850 turbo,
so there is a mettal tube(i guess it is an oil return line) approx. in the middle of enginethat goes into the block there is some oil coming out from there and there is another place thati dont know where it can leak from in that area because it is hard to see it's somewherebetween cam sensor and turbo.
my main question is how to change theseal on theoil return line, howactually i need toget that tube out of the engine block?
thanks a lot to every body for your time.

You have to unscrew the pipe from the turbo and work it out.
I would replace that first and clean everything then go from there.

When that seal goes bad yes it will shoot it all over.

The ones you need are in that kit but here they are seperate.

I don't see that they sell them in a kit without buying the kit to remove and replace the oil pan.

oh man!
finaly fixed it.
the oil was coming out of thecam sensor, the leak was bad,
the biggest problem was to find it and than i just sealed it which took me like 25 min.
the oil return line was leaking a bit too.
thanks tech!
