Skoda TDI engine oil leak

[Guineafowl]

As above, mate’s Superb 2015. He uses it daily so I can’t be tearing into it too far searching. Wondered if it’s a common place to leak that I can go straight in and sort it.

View from underside, right hand rear of engine. DS=RH driveshaft, CP=crank pulley.

Turbo oil feed pipe/return? I just can’t see as it’s all packed in so tightly.

Possibly removing the engine tray, getting it up on a ramp to clean the area would be the best way to find the leak, much easier finding where it’s coming from when it’s been cleaned.

The gasket for the oil feed/return leaking is a very common problem with these engines.

Good advice, thanks.

Here's a pipe set I removed from a car with a failed turbo. Someone had covered the gasket in sealer and almost completely blocked the oil feed to the turbo

I've just removed this combined turbo oil feed and return pipe work off a car with a failed turbo. I wonder why the turbo failed.

Again, thanks. Would I be accessing this pipe from the top or bottom? Don’t know the engine at all well.
