Default oil on top of the engine..

any idea what could be leaking
i've got an oil just next to inlet pipe on top of the engine and it's dripping down on the mainfold, i've done the rocker cover gasket and also suspect turbo oil feed pipe. Any ideas?

if you changed the rocker cover gaskets recently you'll know some of the bolts are tricky to get to. I had one that wasn't done up properly and it was leaking badly, although it was at the bottom. worth checking.

You checked the seal on the AVCS solenoid isn't leaking?
