Synthetic Oil Leak Inducer

Gang-

My 1985 300TD Wagon has been living happily with the cheap crud oil from the quicky change place. That's where the previous owner had been having all the oil changes done. Thinking that I'd never trust my new baby to stranger's hands, I changed the oil this weekend using synthetic oil for diesel engines. (Assuming I was doing a GOOD thing for the engine)

Well, the leaks have started . I have a sizable leak coming from the turbo return line at the oil pan. Is this a common source of leaks? I assume I'm going to have to pull the turbo return line to replace the rubber gasket. Have any of you guys done this job? Any hints and pointers would be greatly appreciated.
