Default Oil leak :-(

Well after getting my car back on the road, pulled up at the flight tavern and noticed some steam comming from the scoop, thought nothing of it as it was wet, but over the past couple of days its done it in the dry too.

Opend the bonnet to have a look today and couldnt find anything.

Took it for a long drive and on the way home gave it some stick. Pulled up on the drive and smoke was bellowing from the bonnet. Opend it up and had a look.

The smokes comming from underneath the turbo, but i cant see a leak anywhere. I have noticed that the heatshield on the up pipe is abit wet with oil and theres some on the front subframe. I thought it could be the rocker cover gasket but it seems ok and theres no oil on the headers below it and the oil on the up pipe is too high to come from it. I could be wrong though.

Any help would be great

cheers andy
