Four things. Boost too.
Make sure you used NEW copper washers on all of the feed and return fittings. Did you use the cup-washers on the turbo bolts? RRE sells them cheap, and they stop the turbo bolts from turning themselves out. Was a daily headache for me, for a while there.. had to stop every 50 miles or so to re-torque the bolts down until I got a set.
Fluid leaks always go downward. Clean off the runoff and drive it for a bit, then trace the leak back to the source. If it's a boost leak, build a boost leak tester. Exhaust leak, take the O2 housing off, clean the mating surfaces, new gasket (no RTV, it'll just burn!) reattach and torque it to the specified rating (maybe just a LITTLE more, and don't forget to use antiseize on the threads so they won't weld themselves in for the next time you need to pull them!).
