I have noticed a small oil leak from the back of my engine. I'll attach pics. For what it's worth, I just had turbos, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, ofhg done recently. It looks like one of the drain lines for the turbos but I'm not a mechanic and I'm probably wrong. I noticed what seems to be some oil around cylinder 6, possibly pcv? Anything helps, thanks.

Yeah, the thing is when I had most of that work done I had the whole car inspected and they said it was 100%. I don't think the rear main would get to the point that it's leaking on the floor in the span of 4 or so days. That's why I think it might be a drain line.

For what it's worth after I had all the crazy leaks fixed. Engine kept puking oil had me going crazy wondering what was still leaking. 2 weeks after no more oil dripping. Could be excess oil build up from before doing the jobs.

Would make some sense considering my oil pan gasket was practically non existent, this is in that area |

Mostly around the front of the engine. But ofhg oil leaks down the front and down the oil pan to that area. I mean if they didn't clean out the front of your block it could be residual oil leaking down. Is their oil on ur valve cover hard to see in pic

It was, I just pulled a belt out of the oil pan and timing chain...part of the reason I got a 6MT e92 for peanuts. I inspected my belt tonight and it's nice and dry, valve cover gasket was done recently too.
