That doesn't say anything by referring to the leak being on the "turbo side". You need more information and pictures if you want help.

Expertise has nothing to do with your situation of he didn't specify and articulate what he feels the problem is.

Maybe the clamp on the oil return line is loose? I had to fix that one once.

Check Cv boot could be cracked and spraying grease on the underside.

that's definitely a possibility but grease and oil look different in consistency and color. when my passenger side boot rips it sprayed all over my front cross member but there was some residue on the up pipe and other areas in that area... definitely worth looking into but pictures speak a thousand words...

Second on the difference. I had a cv boot leak on my WRX on the driver's side and it totally does not resemble oil.
