Default Oil leak diagnosis help, with pics

Wondering if you guys can help. I noticed this leak on the turbo side rocker cover area:

close up:

Is there a common place where it can come from? I've cleaned the area, and can't really see the source of it. I'll wait to see if it comes back. But am doing an oil change this weekend. So if its a rocker cover gasket, I'd like to do that at the same time. Or is it the gasket on that black thing to the left. Looks like an oil breather to me.

Any help appreciated.

Looks like the gasket on the black breather take off, or possibly on the seal on the rocker cover bolt. Personally I'd change both, or use some 3bond

^^^^

looks like it, but just make sure the breather hose is nice and tight as they sofen and loosen up with age. you could try a jube clip and see if that sorts it before changing gaskets (although it does look like a gasket TBH).
