oil leak

i know this has been asked many times but i used the search and found nothing really specific. my car seems to be leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold, at least thats what i think it is. its right under the behind/under the motor. the oil pressure gauge seems to read correctly when the motor is revved but smoke comes up from under the hood when the manifold gets hot. i don't think its apex seal damage because the motor runs fine. anyone know where it could be leaking from. maybe the oil pan? where exactly is the oil pan? yeah im a sort of newbie. a lot of reading not much hands on.

btw

the turbos are boosting fine and there is no sign from the temp gauge of overheating. maybe just time for an oil change?

Its probably your turbos leaking oil.

It can also be the oil line going into the turbos.
