Oil hose

1.8 turbo oil leak only when car is running, mechanic says it is a broken hose, $300 to replace. Looked for hose at all auto parts stores and can't find any, or any mention of an oil hose in literature I have reviewed. Can this be possible? Is this legit

There are oil hoses for the turbo unit. One is pressurised by the oil pump whereas the other is the return hose under the turbo unit.
