Im starting to see some oil around the turbo. Nothing major, and there is nothing on the driveway. Should i look in to something?

prob not, the oil lines are known to leak a little after a bunch of miles, it could just be the washers leaking. No big deal, just keep an eye on your oil level. Even though its not nearly enough to be noticed on the dipstick.

my msp has 100,000 kms on it.. the turbo had oil all over it, looked really dirty and gross. went to mazda to diagnose it (still on warrenty) turns out it was just the brass fittings on the oil feed and return lines. Cost me 4.75 for all the washers, and about 20 bucks to install. ( mazda said that the oillines arent coverd for warrenty)

Same here. I'm from Montreal too, it leaks a little more in our winter time due to low temperatures. Nothing to worry about, keep an eye on your oil level

its all about that o-ring on the return line of the turbo on the under side...I just replaced it today...no more leaking for me...
