What could be source of this leak? I've replaced the valve cover gasket. The exhaust cam seal was moist, but definitely not wet. What are the other options? Camshaft? Is this the power steering pump?
That is the a/c compressor and is not the source of the oil. Take the upper tb cover off and see if the bottom passenger side on the inside has fresh oil on it. Clean it off and reinstall. Drive around some more and check it again. Any fresh oil has to be coming from the valve area, whether from the gasket or cam seal.
The turbo has two oil lines and is above the compressor. The inlet is at the top and visible from above. The drain is the hose behind the compressor in the picture and appears to be dry.
