Dump valvue leaking??

So the other day i noticed i had some oil on the ground from my car. I needed an oil change so i got it done and they showed me where the leak was coming from. The guy said it was coming from the dump valve. He wrote it down for me and it says turbo housing kit clutch system components leaking pts.

Does anyone know if this can be fixed? and if i have to replace it how much it will cost?
also the guy said it was probably because i was running my car really hard.
Any advice would be nice.

If by dump valve he means the bypass valve then odds are you've got some oil in the intake through the pcv valve, take the intake and see if there's any oil inside it. And try not to break the nipple on the intake when you take it off.

Just cause you have that dp on doesnt mean they can't do warranty work on your car. Bring it in and make them fix it. Save you the money and hassle.

that tends to vary from dealer to dealer. Some won't have much of an issue with this, and others will. If you're that worried about it, then remove the dp and intake and re-install the stock parts. It shouldn't take much more than an hour or 2 to swap them both out.
