oil leak !!

hey guys i checked my oil today and the dipstick was reading half full. I took the car to my mates garage we had a look underneath and it was a mess! not only was there oil there was a load of power steering fluid i think we sorted the p/s leak but the oil leak is another matter there is a little bit coming out of the rear crank seal but nothing major the sump gasket is a bit leaky but again not enough to make it lose that much oil in a month the main leak is coming from ??? i dont know but if you stand underneath the car and looked to the front the right hand side where the turbo is situated there is the heavy leak ,around there is a lot of oil on the wastegate but it looks kike its coming from above there although i inspected the area thoroughly i could not pin point the leak i would be able to i i started stripping but im not competant in this calibre of vehicle so ill give that a miss ,anyone got any ideas where it could be coming from advice would be much appreciated

    Might be coming from the valve cover gasket above. Mines just started to seap and i know its common. Thats a start bud. If it was a normal car, £5 later and 1 hour the jobs done but its a fookin Zed and will take all day. Got to strip off the Plenum etc. ;)
