Where's the oil coming from?

Hello. Tech, anybody, perhaps you can tell where this oil is leaking from based on this splatter? I don't see any other obvious signs.

The turbo's will always have a little bit on it.
Check the cam seal on the back of the motor (drivers side) the cam seal might be leaking.

It might be hard to see the back of the motor exactly.
I always look from under the car at the back of the head. If it is wet then I would guess the cam seal.
