oil leak from a gt-28 turbo-- any ideas?

Fellas, my 996tt is leaking a little oil from the black housing under the turbo specifically from what appears to be an area where a plug should go, but there actually isnt one... I noticed it when the car was on the hoist today. The turbos work great, otherwise... Any idea what it could be?

Are you refering to the turbo oil reservoir?

Do you have a picture of it?

From the last time i did an oil change, it doesn;t seem like theres much oil in there.

But you shouldnt leave it uncapped....

Here are the part numbers

900.219.009.30 -screw plug
900.123.140.30 -sealing ring
