Default OEM is just fine gasket wise......

pull the drain line off and check to makes sure that both surfaces (turbo and drain line) have good mating surfaces. No burrs, flat, ect... If everything is well and fine there and a new gasket doesn't do the trick, then double check that the drain line is actually where your leak is coming from. It is possible to have a feed line leak drip down the side of the bearing housing and make it look like it's just the drain line that is leaking.
