Bill:

"I have a small but continuing oil leak at the top of the turbo (outlet)
connection. I have a new gasket to install, but IIRC it can still be
problematic and I
am contemplating using some hiTemp gasket sealer there.
Anyone have thoughts on how to make this a lasting, non leaking connection?
Fortunately (I think) the bottom connection is okay.

...   The surfaces need to be very flat.  and when they are, the small
gasket is sufficient.
On our aging turbos, that might be tough to ascertain. flatness, as I know
you like 'em with noticable boobs,
but I digress . I think the high temp sealer should do the trick.. obviously
don't goop shut the center hole.
I use lock washers on my connections in that area, because I want to enjoy
the next time my turbo turbine side grenades
and R&R it easily.

Enjoyin' Alison's V10 - S6 I hope!
