My WR had a leak ot the turbo supply line at the thermostat housing...
The housing had a stripped tapped hole, had to replace the entire housing.
:(

The oil lines go to and from the oil filter not turbo, and are known to
leak. The mystery object is the oil thermostat housing, not famed for
leaking.
