Got a 2008 audi A3 TDI with blocked dpf. Was about to get it removed/cleaned but noticed an oil leak on the drive after a couple of days (on the passenger side).

Thinking there is an issue with the turbo?

Don't want to go to the expense of paying to get the DPF sorted to find more issues with the turbo as that will cost more than the car is worth.

Any advice please?

Find where the oil is leaking from as a first step?

An oil leak seems more likely, given the symptoms.
