It's definitely motor oil.
Not oil fill tube, not oil filter, not oil filter housing, not oil drain plug, not valve cover, not turbo oil return line at block (although it may be leaking at the turbo), not distributor o-ring.
Definitely leaking towards the front of the car. I was wondering if there was an engine oil seal at the flywheel that could be leaking. It seems to be localized to that area. At first I thought it was my slave cylinder leaking, but there's no evidence of fluid loss and it's definitely motor oil.
There also seems to be excessive oil in my intercooler lines, which means I've got a bad compressor-side oil seal. The turbo spins freely, no excessive play and no rubbing. Could that much oil be leaking from a bad turbo seal to show up below the tranny?
