Default HELP with driver side turbo oil leak, is it oil from supply/return lines or turbo itself?

As I was changing my oil yesterday I noticed that there is some oil on driver side turbo.

I searched the forum and I came across couple of threads when the leak was oil supply/return line related? Something simple as O ring replacment...

What do you think about this one? Is this serious?

I have 2 months left on my warranty and I would like to know before I go to dealer if this oil leak is serious and indication that my turbo is about to fail!

Do you hear any unusual whine coming from turbos? my guess it's an oil line o ring...
