Puddle of oil, from oil trap?

I was told by the dealer a few days ago that my oil trap oring was leaking. I was going to order one and get it fixed by my mechanic in a few days. I started my car this morning to let it warm up for a fewn 10 minutes and saw that a paper plate size of oil had leaked from around the front of the engine. This is the first time for a leak of this size. Would this be caused by the oil trap???

Happened to my T6 MY2001. It turned out that the leak came from both the turbo return pipe gasket as well as the oil trap. Due to space contraint, fixing the gasket will require some 7 hours of labour while the oil trap can be easily replace. The engine oil spewed out into the oil trap because the breather hole is clogged. I have no idea how to fix it but my mechanic took almost 2 days to do the job. The bill finally came to USD500.
