Oil leaks on the turbine side are only going to come from oil spewing out of the engine or from the "piston ring" shaft seal.
Just because it's rebuilt doesn't mean it's any good. If the tolerances in the groove of the turbine shaft are too large, the "piston-ring" style seal will NOT seal the oil from leaking out. Likewise with the dynamic seal on the compressor side.

To be clear, NO oil was leaking from either shaft seal, neither into the turbine section, nor the compressor section. Please don't take this wrong, but in this case, both of you were incorrect. In this video:
https://youtu.be/b61AGpB9qC8 you can clearly see at about 6:50 minutes into the video, the "lip seal" (as the guy called it) seals the two sections together. It is plain to see that if those four bolts were loose, the seal would allow oil past and take the path of least resistance= the bolt holes. Just sayin'....Rich
