Exclamation WHat is leaking (attched Pix)

Guyz,
I just found out that some oil is leaking from my car (00 A4 1.8T), see pic. Wat do you think is it a rear main seal or the a turbo leak.
How much do you think will it cost to get it fixed. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

is there oil on/around the filter, or behind it... It probably needs a new gasket in the filter housing. pretty common, btw the turbo is on the opposite side of the head as your pic.

looking at the pic again, it looks like coolant not oil, but that might just be the pic. You def need a new gasket. Is there coolant in the oil? check your dipstick for froth.

no, they are very cheap... but you'll need an oil change and possibly need to do it a few times to get all the coolant outta there
