Oil leak marks on engine?

Oil leak marks on engine?

Why is there only one spot that looks oil-wet? (Top left of engine) does this indicate something? Where is the oil comming from? Is it a big problem?

Unable to see in the off focus photo. If by "top left" you mean drivers side maybe turbo oil feed line or valve cover gasket ?

Sorry about that, Here i've circled the spot. It's dry everywhere in the engine bay except for the circled part... Is it a possible oil leak?

Thanks

Well yeah, it's an oil leak. Clean it up so you can check where it's coming from. It looks really minor.
