V50 Engine Turbo : V50 Oil Leak 1.6D

[sleepingnomad]

Hi,

We're currently on holiday and started getting the smell of hot oil in the cabin. Lifting the engine cover I found a small pool of oil on a part in front of the engine. I'm not sure what this part is, but seems to be part of the air or maybe turbo system?

Can anyone tell me what this part is and the likely culprit for the oil leak please? I’m thinking it’s the turbo but hoping not.

I’ve attached an image so you can see what I’m talking about.

Please provide single photo of the whole engine top, so we can see whether any hoses have come disconnected.
