Default Oil leak

Looking for some help, had my turbo at the track last week, was on boost in 4th coming into a slower corner, was braking and gave it a hard blip. Saw a huge cloud of smoke come out the back, thought it came from exhaust. Turned out to be a oil leak, only seems to leak on boost, looks like it is coming from the right back corner of the motor, by the right valve cover, top of the motor is fine, inter cooler lines are new and fine. There are a couple very small leaks but not to the extent of the oil we are seeing, mechanic had it apart today as well and is stumped. Anyone run across this or have leaks under boost.

Thx

you might check this post by rocky, he had a similar leak right above the exhaust.
I had a look at it on the lift and it seems to be the same area you are indicating.
maybe the bolt rocky lost is just loose in your case?
