Leaking oil above passenger turbo.

Hey guys, been trying to figure this out for a while. I'm gunna be tearing the engine out this winter but wanted to see what you guys think it could possibly be. It's not the turbo inlet. but it is definitely coming from the top or above the passenger side turbo. maybe valve cover? any help is appreciated!

I noticed oil leakage in the same area on my Z earlier this year, among other places. Had leaky valve cover gaskets, cam seals, and rear main seal. Garage had a lot of fun with that one!

I had a valve cover gasket too, if so you could repare before having the engine out.

In my case oil came to engine block and I had an impressive smoke

Yea I figured i could do it without taking out the motor, but I'm taking the motor out for maintenance in like a month anyway. So i don't mind adding oil every now and then till the time comes to rip her apart. also doing alot of deletes and clean up. Definitely excited!
