need help on yet another oil leak om603

My wife drove up a little bit ago and told me that the oil light came on. I checked it out, and oil is just pissing out of the block at the oil supply for the turbo.

Last week, I did a flush on the oil system, and put rotella t (blue) in. I know I had some problems with the old oil...I had a ton of blow-by and pouring smoke out of the tailpipe. As soon as I finished the oil change, it was much better.

What do you think the problem could be. I already tried tightening the fitting, but it was already tight. I am thinking worst case scenerio, a chunk of oil gunk broke free and lodged itself in the turbo, blocking it. Any ideas? I really need to get this car working quickly.

Well, I've been working on it for a while. I can't even get the fitting in the block off, it's just about rounded now. I think I am going to have to tow the car to the mechanic and let him take a whack at it. So embarrassing.

The term "the block" covers a lot of area. Is it leaking down by where the oil filter housing bolts on; or where?
