Good choice in colour!  In regards to the cross over oil leak, that is normal. that is caused by blow by.

Getting a catch can installed will fix the problem. In regards to the oil leak at the turbo, maybe get someone(tuner) to have a look at it.

I can't pick an oil leak in the photos, but I would try to gently nip up the bolt for the oil feed line into the turbo. Don't go nuts and strip the threads!

 

The breather on the engine will have oil inside it but shouldn't be leaking out - try checking both ends are secure.

also can anyone tell me 100% what the rear wheel KW is on stock fg??

not 100% as they vary a bit, but auto's are generally between 215 and 230, manuals from 225 to 250.

I didn't see it posted whether this is manual or a ZF (our web security appliance blocks showing images from certain sites, so I can't even see the ones for the oil leak) but if you have a ZF auto, have you installed an aftermarket transmission heat exchanger?

 

As there's an issue that might occur which they call the dreaded milkshake, here's some topics you might like to read on it.
