The return line seems more common but it’s two copper banjo washers on the P80and P2 models

OIl return on mine is a drain pipe to the sump, gasket and O ring is the usual suspects.
Very finicky to reinstall.

Check your PCV system - if it is clogged or restricted the pressure will find the weakest point of exit.

Feed line is right under the water pipe. Very visible. If you cannot see the oil leak there, it’s cam seals or,very unlikely, oil pump

My mechanic tells me the leak was a loose bolt on the piston cooling valve. Trying to locate the piston cooling valve on line. Is it in the timing cover area. How in the hell can a bolt get loose on this part?

Ah, those mystery little ports on the right side of engine/towards rear of car.

We wondered what those are for on RN engines a few years back then someone figured it out here.

It’s not really a valve but an access cover to the piston squirters on 1999 turbo models, and later on, all models
