Default Oil leak

Just recently I've spotted a minor oil leak that shows up just inside the front off side wheel. A friendly mechanic is 80% sure that the seal on the turbo boost pipe to the right-hand side turbo has (or is starting to) wear away. There is no significant drop in the engine oil level so we assume that the leakage is in it's early stages.
Does the above description sound familiar to anyone and any recommendations/suggestions/advice?

Thanks.

I have the same problem was advised I need a new Turbo. Not helpful to you but you’re not on your own.
