Default Oil Leak at Turbo Front

I have an oil leak somewhere in the area at the front of the turbo. The oil is only on the numerous hoses in front of the turbo, not the turbo itself. Currently I have cleaned everything off the best that I can to try and figure out where it is coming from. There is also oil in the line / duct between the turbo and the intercooler.
The car seams to be running fine and not burning any oil.
I am thinking it could be a bad bypass valve. I'm correct or am I missing something?

Have you also checked above the turbo? I had an issue with valve cover that leaked past turbo once.

That being said I too noticed oil at intercooler lines during a timing belt change but I havent been able to track down the source yet due to sub freezing temps.

Yes, I've thought of that as well, It looks like I may have a little coming from the valve cover, but not enough to what is ending up on the floor of the garage. I'm waiting on warmer weather as well.

My engine was leaking oil, could possibly be the breather system hoses

It was the Valve cover gasket. No more dripping oil.
Thanks
