i take it you mean oil return from turbo? there isnt a great deal of pressure that runs through this hose so it shouldnt leak, are you sure its not the gasket where the flange bolts to the turbo?

also the flange itself can sometimes warp and not seal which will cause it to leak.

yes, it has an angled pipe which the hose goes onto then is clipped up, the oil can come from the gasket or flange where the 2 x 10mm bolts hold it to the turbo and when it trickles down the hose it looks like its the hose leaking but its not.

Yes that would be fine, I'd also take it for a drive for a few miles with out boosting it or giving high revs, I can't see the point of those engine flush products all they achieve is to disturb any deposits sitting in your engine and cause more harm than good.

Nothing wrong with a nice cheap oil though ;-) .
