E 220 cdi oil leak
Hello guys,

I have oil leak from the left side of the engine watching from the front of the car and its dripping oil on the alternator and down at the engine cover. I suspect that it is from the turbo oil feed line but i'm not 100% sure because i can't see without removing air filter housing. My question is: is there any other oil seal above the oil feed line because i can't see above that line?

Right side on the line is the head and the left side is the turbo and from there drips on the alternator.
btw will the oil damage the alternator?
