Message I've had a small oil leak for the past year or so, and have had a tough time narrowing down where it's coming from.

Oil seems to be running down the driver side turbo coolant line (the hard pipe portion), and down onto the turbo oil hardline.

It doesn't appear to be coming from the turbo itself. Using an inspection mirror, it doesn't seem to be the VTC either.

I'm suspecting the valve covers, but I can't really see any obvious points of leakage (but it's pretty dirty overall in the rear of the engine making it difficult to pinpoint.

Any thoughts on what else it could be aside from valve covers?

Thanks for any insight
