Looked up saw oil was dripping pretty bad from here:
I dont know how long this has been going on. What could it be?
Get you a flashlight and jump up on the engine and look for oil in the valley. Look good at the turbo pedestal. If the oil is in the front also, look at the lines going to the HPOP. If it is to oily to tell, wash the engine then look for the leak.
Pics are good, but no need for pics right now. Just look on top and see if you see puddles of oil in the valley. If you do, let us know and we can help you figure whats up. More then likely it is only an 0-ring.
Just FYI towards the back of the engine valley on the passenger side there is a drain. If you get oil in your valley it over flows through that drain and down the passenger side of the motor. It makes the bottom of the engine look just like yours does.
OK let me ask this.. is this something that I need to address immedialty or is it ok for a day or two until I can get time off and go to a mechanic or figure it out?
Make sure you check the oil before driving. It will shut down if it gets too low. Probably coming from your hpop system. Maybe one of the hoses/o rings or the hp oil pump.
