Pulling the front pully can leadto trouble if the thrust bearing and or washer fallout of position when you pull the pulley hub out . Check a repair book to see what I am talking about

It might be from your turbos

jack up the car and do a wipe down...

wait a day later and go back underneath and look at the turbos to see if there's any fresh drips..
