Default Oil Leak After Turbo

Hey Guys
So I'm leaking oil after installing the turbo. I went back to the shop a 2nd time and they rechecked everything and couldn't find the leak. They are suspecting it's a gasket where the motor/tranny meet or something like that.

They cleaned the area both times and it's coming from the tranny area (automatic). They also think it blew from making more power now (did some dyno pulls and hard driving)...combined with it being almost 7 years old...and my Auto-X'ing stints putting extra stress on it.

Let me know if anyone else might know if what they are saying is right or wrong. Thanks!
