That looks like the Auxiliary Pump - Porsche (996-107-021-73) and it might be coming from the oil line (large bolt fitting) that connects to it. I would clean the area to better see where it's coming from.

It is tough to find the source with the debris around the area. I would try to clean it all off really good first and then it should be a bit more obvious...

There is an oil line that feeds the turbos, it is metal from the top of the engine, but converts to a rubber hose about 2/3 s of the way. It is very common for the rubber to crack and leak. The oil You see on the bottom of the turbo could be coming from above. You have to lower the moter to replace these. If that's the issue, research other important work to do with motor down.
