Turbo leak
The oil is leaking out of either your turbo seals or coming from inside the motor. You are seeing it there because there is no seal or gasket where the wastegate pin goes through the manifold. If you pull off your downpipe you should see it in the turbine housing.
While technically you can rebuild the stock turbos, no reputable turbo rebuilder will do it anymore because they all fail. The extreme heat these units generate warp the housings so the new bearings and seals won't seat correctly, causing premature failure. Your options are to get a know working used set, a set of 99 twins, or best yet a set of BNRs. I can help you with any of these.

Thanks man. A lot of time and effort was put into that car with the mentality that we wanted to build and improve upon what Mazda intended, yet retain driveability and response. I am a BNR dealer so when you are ready hit me up for the best price.
There should be nothing leaking from there. As I said above, if you are having oil leak externally either the turbo seals are gone, you have an internal engine problem like an oil control ring failure, or other issue such as a failed pcv system. If you are talking about an exhaust leak, then there is a gasket behind that plate there.
