it looks like its coming from above the sump

Could be cam cover gasket, possibly turbo oil feed, but you need to get some brake clean in there to see where its coming from.

Looks like the seal on the turbo oil outlet to me.

The banjo could be loose or the copper washer has given up.

Thanks I will get it cleaned up and have another look.

Regarding the oil return feed is this the one?
