Replaced the turbo oil line, gasket. Clamp. And o-ring on the T5
Chassis break on the oil line, be careful ordering.
These parts hide under lubrication system , not turbocharger category in Volvo parts apps

Tools and procedure
5 mm hex head M4 bolt hold flange of pipe to turbo
O-ring end into the crankcase is a hand press fit.
m6 ( 10mm socket) to release flange screw and nut on clamp which holds oil line and coolant line together
Vice grip to help release oil line
Turbo flange bolts released easily
Clamp bolts were very tough
To reinstall, put one bolt through gasket, raise pipe and tool together, hand thread onebolt. Use tang on gasket to set gasket into right place, insert other bolt
Torque on M4 ..I used 6 Nm as I couldn’t find a spec, so used a nominal M4 spec.

Let me know if this cures your intermittent leak on the rear of the block please =)
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

Hope so!
One thing about the diagram above. There is a deceptive line between the oil supply line ( double banjo bolt fittings) and the return line (simple flange and flat gasket ) that implies the banjo somehow mates to the flange..it does not These two connections are independent
Redlined it for clarity

I replaced the gasket a few weeks ago on mine, easy job once the car is on ramps and it fixed one of my oil leaks

I'd recommend fixing it asap when it leaks, p.o drove mine with the leak for a year and since it drops on the driveshaft it covers the whole engine bay in oil

Well, power washed the underneath and have a hot run on Tuesday next week, so we will know if that has helped the wet engine back (right side) problem shortly....

This completely fixed this
Those M4, 5 mm hex head bolts can be a pain to release. One of them is obstructed by the drain pipe and is best done with a long hex bit.
Alternatively, release the oil line clamps so that you can pivot the blocking drain tube away from the fastener path, first

Adding to the knowledge base here.
I’ve found turbo installs are a lot easier if you assemble this oil line to the turbo, then guide it in to the block as you settle the turbo on the exhaust. Studs.
The killer tool for the M4 , 5mm internal hex screws is. A ball head driver so you can tighten slightly off angle
I used a Schmeer of Permatex on the gasket as the OE Reinz gasket did not match up exactly.
Sep 2023 notes on turbo install
Notes on the turbocharger install
Be sure heat shield is in place with two left bolts in place
Install turbo fees water pipe. Banjo has very poor access. Install short water hose
Install water return pipe
Install oil drain pipe with gasket, permatex and two loose m5 hex 5 bolts
Install bottom drain pipe gasket/oring
Clearance both heater hoses , optional
Install turbo to manifold gasket
Lower turbo into space. Pick up water supply line and insert pipe into hose.
Clear oil supply union.
Bring turbo to manifold studs. Start water return hose onto water pipe fitting
Ease into studs and install one bolt to hold.
Place vice grip onto oil banjo, use leverage to position banjo, install with two new copper rings
Start turbo into down pipe studs. Move cat to GE Theeads through and secure one nut
