Default Turbo O-ring?

Good day, forum folks!
Been a while since I've posted, which means all has been well for a while with my 94 850 turbo wagon. I've since passed the 200k and am approching 210k. During the last oil change it was noticed that there is oil leaking out of the turbo. I seem to remember a post about an o-ring that is not too bad to replace. Any one have a link or hints on that?
Thanks!

RMS (Rear Main Seal), this could be your problem.

If the block is wet where the pipe goes from the turbo to the Block then the o-ring is bad.

The turbo's are known to leak a little oil where the induction hose goes on the turbo.

I'll double check on the block -- if it's in fact the o-ring, how hard is that to change?

Thanks!

It will take you about 15-20 minutes.
