Hope its gone for good!
Same thing here, I couldn't prevent it coming back.  I flung numerous bits and pieces at it, but I think the final solution for me was a new 90° boost elbow at top of turbo (previously had oil vapour on top of turbo silencer).

Fitting a new standard one was a pig, so I guess a super solid aftermarket one will be a right pain!

I had same problem. pressure test confirmed that the new pipe also leaked! so what I did was trim the stainless pipe's lugs back so that the o ring seats further back into the pipe. then gently bend the lower lugs to clamp the pipe ho place and prevent it from moving out. be careful though, only trim a bit off at a time because you can't stu material back on the pipe. problem solved, providing there's no leaks anywhere else ho the pipework. plus it still looks standard
