Engine OIL Leak on S-40....Holy SMOKES

[TLS]

Any Ideas? Somewhere between the engine and the firewall I have a decent oil leak. Doesn't look to be a valve cover or gasket. Maybe an oil line for the turbo?

Anything they're known for?

Gotta get a new mirror tool and have a good look-see back there, mine broke

Leaks right on hot exhaust.

Anything that a squirrel could get under there and eat that could cause a leak?

Reason I ask, is we had a certain squirrel "hide" an english walnut on the turbo! Seems like the heat shield is a nice stool, and the turbo probably stays warm almost all night! Talk about a BAD smell! Was a glowing white/red ember when I flicked it off after 3 days of "cooking". Makes me wonder if there were any rubber or plastic oil lines that looked "tastey" to the squirrel.


Any help or suggestions would be great.
