Turbo Coolant Pump? PS Pump?

Ok This morning and last two mornings I see a Green dense oil on my garage floor..
I went under this mini and I see on the passenger side under the air box oil lines leading to an electrical pump. Is this the Turbo coolant pump? Strange greenish dense oil something I have not seen before in any turbo car I have ever owned.
I hear a Buzz when I turn the mini off in that same area. but I don't an do not hear while running only when I turn it off. It like whines down. Power steering pump maybe? But power steering fluid is pink if I'm not mistaken. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have 77,000 miles so any help would be appreciated. PITA! one thing after another..

More research shows me its the Auxiliary Water Pump to Turbo.
Part # 11537630368 PITA
I have been under this MINI way too many times at 77,000 miles..
Last time and last repair off to CarMax I go.
List of repairs


Thermo housing
Top 02 Sensor
MAF Sensor
Brake pads and brake pad sensor
Tires, replaced run stupid flats
Air bag pass sensor on..really!
bought with 30,000 miles now at 77,000 and all this
Recall on the heat shield not done
Oil line to turbo leaking again not done top turbo
Cowl melted..not changed
Just sayin, just way too many failures within 47,000 miles
My girls Kia optima 120,000 miles and all is good really!! Mini should be ashamed.
Kia out doing Mini BMW first and last Mini for sure..
