Turbo leaking oil

Hi Guys

Recently bought a 2007 2.0 dci Megane GT. Done over 2000 miles since buying the car, but only has 38600 miles on the clock. It's been leaking oil from the turbo area, so the inlet seals were replaced as there was play between the turbo and the pipe and it was spraying oil onto the exhaust. Now its leaking from underneath the turbo & I can't seem to figure out what's actually leaking. The oil wells up in small puddles on top of the pipe under the turbo and smokes when idling. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Image

inspect the turbo it self. and that for sure is not a 38ooo mile symptom, or it has been trashed like a hell.

The turbo looks new, the garage had the whole thing off when inspecting the first leak and couldn't find any problems. Wondering if it's the seal where it joins at the bottom or a blockage somewhere. Probably going to have to take it off again anyway to figure it out.
