Oil leaks????

My 91.5 started leaking last summer, and is now nearly in need of a daily I.V.

I will be pressure washing the engine this weekend to try and find the source of the many leaks.

Most seems to becoming from the right side of the engine, like below the turbo. Any Ideas on what might be leaking in that area?

I think the pan is leaking as well a the timing cover as well.

This all started after the low sulfur fuels, (or at least that's what it seems).

So for the short abswer, but theres not any fuel components on right side. The only oil source there are turbo lines and the filter, im sure theres a couple seals and gaskets.

Yep, oil to and from the turbo and then the cursed oil filter bracket of doom, which is what I call mine now after r and r ing it three or four times trying to get it to stop leaking. I finally got it down to a temporarily acceptable level of leakage...
