First leak when running in was from the oil return line on the turbo. It was a broken clip, oil dripped onto the exhaust and smoke came out through the bonnet scoop, which was interesting!
Second leak was from the sump at the drain plug. Either a porous case or an over zealous 'machanic' splitting the sump when replacing the plug after oil change.
