Oil on RH turbo

Was changing Diff oils today and while under the car noticed that the front most part of the turbo on the driver's (RH) side is covered in oil. It is just on that part and everywhere else is dry. The LH turbo is also dry.

There is no smoking, no fault codes or any change in performance, it still pulls like a train, so not sure where this oil is coming from.

We had the oil changed through the dipstick last week and also the oil filter if that makes a difference.

This is what it looks like.

If it is a leak coming from above is that something you live with or is it easily fixable?

I also blanked off the egrs last week if that is also something to take into account.

If it is the inlet manifold gasket it is a big job to change it. My left side is leaking and I will change it in a couple of weeks when I have a couple of clear days. The RH is apparently harder than the left. You can see if it's leaking by removing the metal acoustic cover, which in itself is a pain to get off. The oil soaks into the soundproofing until it's saturated and lets go of a big drip. 2007 TDV8 VSE
