Default Pics of Turbo/Head on left side of engine

Hey All

Did a K04 upgrade, and now trying to troubleshoot an oil leak. All new seals, gaskets etc were put on entire engine. Using my nifty new borospcope, i was able to trace this to what appears to be a leak around the rear lower side of head. I put a new head gasket/bolts in so this sucks if they are leaking. i am going to pull it out again to investigate, but before doing so, does anyone have any good pics of the left side of the engine showing the head / turbo / etc? I am just trying to see if there is anyting else there that could be leaking other than the actual head. its not the turbo or any of the lines... i can watch it drip from the bottom of the head. unfortunately, i cannot get a good enough view to see exactly where.

thx in advance.

Twice now I've seen this type of leak turn out to be a camshaft seal. You might need a dye to trace it, but check there first.
