Hope it’s fixed by now. But......
Appears to be coming from top side. My first suspect is the turbo oil feed line. There is a small O ring that is common to fail. Very inexpensive but a pain in the rear to replace. Remove the heat shielding to get a clear view towards front top of the block. Don’t tear up the shield, there are bolts on top and bottom of it.
If that’s not it then probably the valve cover.... Being there is oil on top of the heat shield.

oil leak
I'll go for the easy one...valve cover gasket (maybe more than one source?). BTW, I used the UV detector kit and dye (Search Amazon for oil detector dye and UV detector leak kit for dye and UV light, $25-$30 USD years ago)) to find a "where is it coming from !!??" leak on a Subie SVX after my degreasing it pretty spotless still had me guessing.
