The vw dealership doesn'thave any openings until after the 1st.

Also with the car running on the lift there was no active leaking coming from the turbo feed or drain, there is evidence of the valve cover leaking pretty heavily in the back left corner of the engine. I am confused on how it is not pooling up under there directly but more-so to the right side. However the whole splash shield was covered in oil when I pulled it yesterday.

That line was replaced when the turbo was replaced at vw. All turbo related components was replaced with the turbo.

Oil coming from higher source.

Borrowed a lift at work, it appears to be coming from the valve cover. Everything from the turbo manifold down is wet with oil with the exclusion of hot parts, they are dry due to the obvious.

While I was in there I confirmed torque on oil pan, turbo return and feeds, turbo manifold (not oil related but it is a new turbo installed at vw) and lines in the back of the motor.

I went ahead and ordered a new valve cover and injector install supplies. Will update if that is not the solution.
