Question Oil leak: Whats behind the wastgate actuator?

I have an oil leak........... again!!! I cleaned up everything, and ran the engine. Was able to see oil leaking from something behind the wastegate actuator, above the oil pan. I can't see whats behind it. I will have to pull it off, but would like to know what might be leaking that has pressurized oil in that area.

Any ideas??

Thanks.
