W211 E270 cdi oil leak infront of Turbo Charger

My diesel e270 cdi has oil sump at turbo charger. Please see attached picture for oil leak (second pic was zoomed in for clarity to see where the oil leak is).

Can you please guide me if a seal is leak and what is the part number?

Thanks

That's the crank case breather inlet. Sorry, I couldn't find your exact year and model, but this should be the same:

I see, yours is the in-line 5, and the E320 in an in-line 6. It's very possible it will fit but not certain. Try taking it apart first and cleaning it. This is not indicative of a serious problem - you may just be able to put some sealant on it to correct the problem.

No problem. Just so you're aware, the function of the breather is to direct engine oil vapours and residue into the intake, so it's normal and expected to see a certain quantity of oil in there.
