03 subaru wrx

Leaking from passenger side. Not too inclined on what it could be leaking from. Replaced valve cover gaskets recently to see if that was it.

Causing a whitish smoke from the oil burning.

Circled area in red where the oil drips onto.

Doesn't drip onto the ground at all.

Thinking possible turbo oil return line? oil cooler o ring or cam seal gone bad.

Let me know thoughts if you would. This shit is pissing me off.

White smoke or blue smoke? Also, burning and leaking are two different issues.

White, and no idea if it is dripping. I'd assume it is.

First things im gunna think is a turbo return oil line is possibly cracked somewhere or it's power steering fluid leak from one of the hoses.

Thought it would be an oil cooler o ring I need to replace but kinda leaning away from that.

You are all over the place with this. First things first determine what fluid is actually dripping. Is it oil or PS fluid. Actually after reading again make sure some things dripping. Why are you assuming some things leaking if there's no drips and no fluid loss? I'm confused.

It's this easy. Figure out which of your fluids is being lost. Check them all, the one that's low is leaking.

Do you actually have reason to think it's leaking, or is it just smoke coming from the engin***? What does the smoke smell like?

If it's sitting for long periods (Long enough to cool the exhaust), and nothings on the ground, chances are there is no leak.
