It depends where it's leaking from, you may find it's oil residue leaking from the inlet pipe work to the turbo or from a breather hose. It could be something as simple as a loose hose clamp but could also be a sign of the oil seals in the turbo starting to go.
Can you take a photo of the affected area ?
As steve said pic of affected area would help to show how much oil and where from
The cars in front are New MINI Scotland
all I needed was 4 copper washer on the bango job done thanks guys for your help
Top tip for future reference, copper washers can be removed then heated with a blow torch until they glow which re annealed them and makes them soft again so they will re seal like new ones.
Saves replacing them if you need a quick cheap fix :)
Lol I've fixed enough turbo' cars back when I was addicted to Japanese imports ! Lol
