Hi guys, I'm not very mechanically minded and by that I mean I can do an oil change and basic stuff but that's where it ends.
I Found an oil leak from the drivers side of the engine when i did my last oil change and my turbos have worn out, could the oil be coming from the turbos or are they located elsewhere....
I know that this probably sounds like a really dumb question to everyone else but like i said i don't know much about cars.
please help!!

Try looking at the turbo drain pipes , they are prone for cracking .

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but thanks for the help, car has been parked since I found the leak so I will hoist it up tomorrow. Thanks again and I'll let you know how I go.
