Default Oil leak...how to resolve?

Hi Everyone:

I was about to do an oil change on my 11 Q5 2.0T but ran into a bit of an issue. After I took off the plastic panel under the car, I noticed a minor oil leak coming from the passenger side of the block:



What is this leaking area? Is it possibly missing a gasket/seal? over torque? How difficult is it to sort out?

Is that on the turbo? Oil feed line and coolant line. Could be just bad O-rings. Oil line is easy but coolant line can drain out and you will need to top off your coolant. You will need a triple square socket.

This oil leak is on the passenger side block. I check higher in the block and it seems this is where it's leaking from.

It seems the top one connects to the turbo, not sure where the bottom one connects to.
