I have pin pointed the oil leak take a look bros!!!!

Ok I have determined where I see the oil leaked out on its in the exhaust manifold area and turbo control actuator. On the Turbo control actuator I see oil around it what does this mean?

This means either you have a leak in the inlet of the oil or that you have a crack in your turbo housings or possibly that you have leaky turbo's. It could also be the primary turbo outlet but not likely. The most probably is the leaky turbo or cracked housing. Go single you will not have this problem anymore.

Is the leak in the inlet area repairable? where exactly is the inlet, the inlet to the turbos?

A crack in housings that will cause an oil leak is unlikely. If you did have a crack that caused a leak it'd probably be a big leak. Big oil leak on the exhaust manifold will smoke like crazy and could cause a fire.

Oil return lines are prone to leakage and to a lesser degree so are the oil feed lines. Clean everything very well with some brake cleaner (cold engine). Drive the car some and take some pics to show us what it looks like.
