Default 99 v70 turbo leaking

With my turbo leaking a small bit of oil, what are my options? The car is not blowing smoke.

Turbos leak, get used to it.
As long as you're not low on the dipstick I wouldn't be concerned.

I really don't like leaks and usually fix them. The big thing is pinpointing the leak. They usually leak at the return line which is an easy fix. They also leak internally which usually causes smoke and poor preformance. Fine the leak & fix it, you'll be happy you did.
