could be spraying down onto the altenator pulley/belt/fan power steering, crank pulley then it will go everywhere as well

Re:Where's that oily mess coming from? Please no...
 

gotta think about the fans at speed...BLOWING oil around...I know I had a small leak from the feed...before my current TOO MUCH OIL situation arose to me :-[. but, there was oil on th eback of the block...OMFG where did this oil come from batman? and it turned out it was the feed letting a bit of oil out and a good bit under load...and it was being blown to the block behind the turbo.

Re:Where's that oily mess coming from? Please no...
 

it doesn't look like it's comming from the engine. do a compression test just to get it outta the way. that seems to be turbo related. is the car letting out alot of smoke through the exhaust? maybe it's the oil feed line or a leaking turbo seal. the deffinately doesn't seem like the motor. otherwise if it was the headgasket, or alot of blowby, it would overheat in no time.

Re:Where's that oily mess coming from? Please no...
 

Well I can tell you what it's not. I have a breather filter on my PCV valve and it's completely dry, no blow-by :) And my head gasket is good, my overflow tank hasn't changed fluid levels in months. And my turbo is good, because it's a fresh rebuild. There is no smoking, no oil burning per se, except for the oil burning off the mani. Maybe the fan is spraying it everywhere after it drips off the return. I'll have to check that out.

Lol. My last turbo was so shot my BOV was soaking my hood with oil.

It was also coming out of the compressor INLET.

Like someone else said get some degreaser, or brake clean which is always better.
