passat oil leak - ipswich208

hi does anyone know of any known oil leaks with the passat i have the 1.8t sport on a 51 reg and ive noticed a oil leak down near the turbo unit but have to wait till after christmas for it to go in to have the engine cleaned so we can see where abouts it is leaking from as the heat shield is in the way you cannot see, any help would be great losing a bit of power on top end but not on start off so could it be from the turbo oil feed or the head gasket leak is on the left hand near to the front of the engine no oil anywhere else and its not coming the rocker cover as its not that high up.?
