Oil leak V70-XC70 2001

I have an oil leak somewhere on the firewall side of the engine. The oil is leaking out onto the driveway on the right side of the engine however it is also getting on the exhaust pipe under the turbo. The oil is wetting the underside of the chassis on the left side but not right side. Also when driving I am getting a fine mist onto the rear window from the leak. I took the car in for service and was told that it was the cam bearing seal which was repaired/replaced. This did not fix the leak as it is still leaking just like before. Educate me please. are there oil lines to the turbo, could this be the source. Other than that I do not have a clue. I need some help so that when I go back to the service shop I can speak better than they.

    Oil leak V70-XC70 2001

    Find a new shop. Even highschool kids can find an oil leak. Yes, there is oil delivered to the turbo, and I suspect that the leak is there. The parts are around $15 for a new gasket and O ring, it take about 30 minutes to replace.

    Check the top of the engine, driver's side, for oil leaking out of the exhaust cam seal. The front cam seal has a round cover plate on it, the exhaust cam has wires for the cam position sensor but the cover is also round.
