Puddle of oil on top of my air filter housing

[zsmith29]

Motor oil seems to keep on pooling on top of my air filter housing.
At first I thought it was a leak in the hose that carries the air/oil into the air filter but I re-worked all of the fittings and they do not leak anymore.

I keep on looking at this and I simply cannot see where it is leaking from. It is actually quite a bit of oil.

Any help w/ this would be great. Thanks\

I always have a little oil on top of my air filter housing too. It seems to come from some oil that squeezes out of the hood pad. The oil in the hood pad comes from the leaky turbo, which I am going to fix soon.

A picture might prove helpful. The oil is "on top of" as opposed to "inside" the air filter housing? Is this where the breather hose snaps on the oil seperator?

Yeah
I will get the pic up soon.
The oil is on top of the cover of the housing.
I never had a hood pad on my hood but I will check the turbo over real well.
Thanks
