Gee... umm... OF COURSE! Maybe it's just the banjo fitting's crush washers, but it looks worse.

Default seeing as how the turbo needs oil to function without going ka-boom...you should be very concerned
any oil leak should be a concern, especially on a turbo car

Gary says that Ronal makes the wheels for Audi. Should I be concerned?

It's an Audi, isn't it? You need to visit your mechanic ASAP.
