Those are just banjo bolts. They are probably leaking because either it isn't tight enough or you didn't or someone didn't put new crush washers on when they took the turbo off if it has been off. Just loosen the bolt. Get 2 new copper crush washers for it, about $0.50 and tighten the bolt down real good again.

So what's your question exactly? maybe you have a bad crush washer....if were are talikng about the same bolt, your either going to have to pull the manifold out leaving the turbo in place, or loosen the turbo to mani studs to give you a little extra room to work with. I think the easiest way is taking the mani off but make sure not to overtighten your nuts because you will strip the studs out, guranteed!!

It's the banjo bolt for your oil feed line. If you continue to let it leak that means that your turbo isn't getting all the oil it can and could cause the bearings/seals to go out. Just tighten it up.

You might wanna take a picture then because I am lost now. It's a 22 or 23mm bolt on the head? Find a picture of a motor and show me the general area.

Looks to be leaking coolant. Oil may be coming from somewhere else or is mixed with the coolant. Just tighten it and see if it helps, clean it up real good and see if it leaks, if it does, take the banjo bolt out, get new crush washers and retighten again.
