Help identify a minor leak..
not an expert on the turbos but if its a reddish/orange color it might be the dreaded coolant pipes leaks on the engine block. In porsche and many german cars the coolant is orange not the green on the japanese cars. If it needs welding your looking at a major repair to the tune of $3-5k...
The leak is actually coming from the place I circled.. not from above it. I am guessing the line is a coolant line?
Thats oil supply line part number 99610701972. it connects the 2 oil pumps (99610702173 and 72) driven by camshafts which your arrows point to. here are some pics of the parts removed from car. there are some o rings and seals in there that can leak as you can see!

The two arrows are pointing the heads oil scavenge pumps which are taking oil from the cams area back to the crankcase. And the circle is pointing an oil line from these scavenge pumps. Your leak, if it is coolant, has to run down those parts....

You would hope the line doesn't leak but it certainly could. If he used break cleaner or something else to clean under there it could make it brittle and crack. Or it could just simply be leaking from age. If that line does leak there is no way to fix it other than a new one and they are $600+. The pumps could be removed and seals replaced. But if I read correctly its just the line that leaks.
