    In pic 2 oil looks as ifit is coming from the top of the engine down over the turbo and water pipe work. But in pic 5 the turbo return pipe has oil on the underside of the turbo on the 5mm head bolts that fix it to the turbo so maybe the gasket is leaking. Have you checked the rear cam seals and the breather pipe from the PCV under the plug cover?

    am fairly confident it's not from the top of engine but no i have'nt check breather yet, PCV was done a little while back,have'nt checked rear cam seals no most of the oil seems to be on/around the large water? pipe guess i'm gonna have to get down n dirty again ;-/ grrrrrrrr
