I would inspect all the boost pipes. To and from the boost solenoid. If they all check out ok then I would remove the TMIC (i assume you still have the top mount). Have a look around where all the hoses were clamped onto the IC. If they were leaking at the clamp then you should see evidence of oil splatter (for want of a better word).
It would be that the clamp wasn't tightened enough or is worn and needs replacing.
