I posted this on Nabisco too and got a response that seems likely:

Get the car up on jackstands and get underneath the passenger side of the engine where the up-pipe goes into the turbo. Reach up underneath your downpipe for the bottom of the turbo and see if you can feel oil on the drain line. Sometimes it is easiest to just remove the downpipe. Either way, you should have a clamp on on the rubber drain line. If you see any oil on/around that area, I would suggest buying a new piece of hose and getting some worm hose clamps for both ends to ensure it won't leak in the future.
