Oil Leak - Passenger Side Turbo. I just had valve covers, cam tensioner seal, and cam caps replaced
but I still have quite a bit of oil on my passenger side turbo and the belly pan.
What's the best way to get a look at this turbo?
Take the driver side wheel well out?
front bumper off?
When I look down the drivers side of the engine from the top I can see little plumes of smoke coming up from near the wastegate of the turbo is, but I have no idea what is leaking.
How can I get a closer look?
Here is a pic from the bottom (after I cleaned it up):

Before I cleaned it up it looked like this:

Same thing happened to me the other week.....
Had the same work done and the car was still leaking quite a bit of oil. It was all over the turbo and the same places you described. Turned out to be a bad rear cam seal that was defective when they put it in.
