listen, braided lines can become weak if they, lets say rub against the alternator. that happened to mine, if you notice even the slightest bit of deformation on your oil line, be damn responsible and spend the $20 to replace it. they may look like pin-hole leaks but it will shoot oil out like old faithful, don't doubt your car's ability to break itself when it's not properly maintained. that being said, what i suggest since it seems like you've made 0% progress;
#1) grab a new oil feed line for your turbo, take the old one off and inspect it.
#2) check the torque on your head, valve cover. god knows if it's not tightened down you don't have a good seal
#3) don't neglect the oil pan, that too obviously must be tight
#4) actually, smack me, because i just read this;
"It looks like its driping from the starter almost...."
Okay, replace the damn oil line that feeds the turbo, that's the 100.4% same thing that happened to me, do refer to the part about rubbing the alternator, or ANY electric producing items under your hood, i guarantee that is your issue, as for the bogging down and shit, that sounds almost like a simple maf plug not being seated. let me know what happens.
