Default Strategy needed to tighten oil to turbo line

I found the oil leak I posted about but I need a good suggestion to close it
https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-...ming-from.html

The leak (2004 CTT ) seems to be coming from the driver (left) side oil feed to turbo but it is in a very difficult to reach place,
1. Can someone suggest the easiest way to close it? Remove belt? Remove engine?
2. Also I cannot find what size crowfoot I need to tighten (M6? M8?)

I have 3 pictures below.
The black arrow shows what it looks like in Turbocharger.pdf. This does not show all the other hardware in front of it making it difficult to access.



Below shows where I have to access it. I have removed air intake pipe, also removed air filter box
You can see where I had to place the mirror.


Below you can see in the mirror with the connection circled in RED.
I have to somehow reach in between the belt and that metal pipe to tighten this.
THink I can get a crowfoot in there, and if so anyone know what size?



You can see the soot created by this leak, I really want to get this closed to see if this is the only reason I am losing some oil
Thank you for any help you can provide

You're looking at 2 different things. The illustration is showing a turbo oil line, this is on the side of the engine towards the back. In the picture it looks like you may be looking at either the timing cover or the power steering pump but obviously these are on the front of the engine.

I may not even be that oil line. I bet it is the valve cover gaskets....

That would be a good guess. Hope that its that and not the timing cover!
