OK, My crystal ball seems to be an the fritz. Where might the oil be coming from? Top-bottom-left-right- front or back.

With just a wee bit of help some one here should be able to come close to the cause.

Also Welcome
 
well first things first: find out where the oil leak is coming from and fix it. it could be the drain tube from the turbo. next step is to do a full tune up and then continue from there.
