No place nearby had a 1/32 drill. so i used a thin pick and poked through about a .04 hole and still had some oil

My journal bearing turbo did this and after a day of driving the seals "fixed themselves." I don't know if tht will work in your case but its worth a try in my book.

I think WonTon may have just failed 4'th grade arithmetic.

Fixed it, .030 drill.

are you saying the smaller restrictor hole has solved the oil leaking issue?
