oh dear ;-/ is it dying?

[5seaterT5x2]

any ideas much appreciated, got an oil leak at the back of engine somewheres and not the usual suspect the oil return pipe got under it today.
looks like it's coming from/around the inlet side of turbo guess the seals are on their way out?
rebuildable i guess?
anyone recomend someone in the london (ish) area?
i'm fairy competent with the spanners is it a home job?
hideous cost i suppose for a new one?

Cheers

Is it blowing any smoke? Could be oil return seals which are dead cheap and relatively easy to do.

The return oil seal leak leaves a pretty distinctive spray down the back of the block/sump. I did have a link to a good guide but I have lost it. Someone else may

It could be that just the oil feed pipe to the turbo copper seals are weeping when hot. This will cause the oil to weep over the turbo CHRA and drip off down on to the floor and maybe the back of the engine. Those copper orings/seals are fairly cheap from Rufe on here.
