Default finding oil leak

hi i have a oil leak i cant find where its coming from the sump is wet theres a drip on the oil filter. and the front lower sturt brace is covered in oil. i thought it was the turbo oil return but i dont think its that after having a good look. ive fitted a new oil filter new rocker gaskets and its still leaking.
the exhaust downpipe has oil on it and the front exhaust bit by the bumper smokes aswell but only after a good caining if i drive slow it doesnt smoke. any ideas its doing my head in now. theres oil on the top of the engine aswell by the inlet
thanks adam.
