so to the left of the dip stick hole, there seems to be a bolt missing. im believing oil is coming out of that as its wet around the whole area.
but its wierd because it seems as if the only way a bolt would come of that is to take the motor mount off. i never messed with the motor mount.
the bolt that is missing is between the mount and the block next to the dip stick hole.
it may also be coming out of the turbo oil hose. to the right of the dipstick.
sorry cant really take a good pic. this is the best ive got.

its your oil hose gasket, on your engine. lift up your car undo the mounts use a engine stand to lift the engine and remove your engine mount next to the turbo. youll see it clear as day.

that missing bolt is on the motormount, so wont be oil there. the stock drains suck, they work fine till you touch it, then leak. id recomend a ss braided soft hose kit. makes install in the car so much easier.

Before you put it back to gether make shure you scrape the old gasket off 100%, other wise it will leak agian. Use a razor blade by itself or even a headgasket removal tool works great. The hardest spots are around the studs.
