Hi Peeps

I was in the process of changing my pads and discs this afternoon (drivers side) and noticed a small wet patch, its not oil looks like water but I have no idea what the hose is that its leaking from, can anyone identify what the issue is from the pictures

Well, that's the turbo. Not uncommon for some oil to leak past the pipe seals. Given the age of the car doesn't look too bad.

Second that - also considering the crank case vents oily vapours directly into the pre turbo intake pipe that one does not look that bad. I had a leak in a similar place but replaced the pipe and band clamp and it went away.
