can't see what im looking at with that photo. Sorry.
If there's oil inside your downpipe, It'll be your turbo seal. Are you blowing out smoke from your exhaust?

The distributor housing/ camshaft gear rear housing O-ring is probably hard as a rock and leaking. That's where it looks like it coming from to me anyway.

Is that what that is? I'm asking myself if that's even a 944 engine. Is that an upside down photo? Because to the right of that pipe or cooler duct looks like a turbocharger temperature sensor doesn't it? I'm at a total loss now. And what kinda car is that blue time machine in your avitar photo? I know it's out of my life savings catigory just looking at it. It looks cool, and super fast and unubtanible to poor folk like myself. I feel like I'm doing something wrong just looking at it.

Run you hand above that oil return to see if it's wet with oil. There is a wire mesh above those crush washers you put in, likely the oil is coming from above. The attaching point of that wire-mesh hose has a rubber o-ring and two bolts that attach to the underside of your turbo charger. Also, make sure your seal is good at the end of the dip stick which is just beyond and to the right of your image.
