it seems to be above the oil filter maybe a lttile back but i cannot find it, it spews out when i run the car, and leaks onto the oil filter.
 
There is always a possibility but not sure about the turbo drain on HA.

I would look at the oil pressure sending unit and associated brass block/turbo oil feed line. That is all under pressure and will leak/spray if not sealed. Seen defective oil pressure sensors leak at the electrical side. Filter can also leak I guess. Can be lots of fun finding oil leaks.
 
I had the same problem and it turned out the previous owner used the wrong bolt on one of the mounting points for the oil filter/timing cover joint. If you look one of them has a raised bung and should have a longer bolt. He used the longer bolt in the wrong place. It created a crack that was leaking a quart of oil every 100 miles or so. Clean and check in that area closely. Good luck. I will post a pic of mine when I find it.
