Oil leak

Hi All,
I have a 2007 2.7 tdv6. I have had it since June 2017. When i bought it, it had done 131k but in the last 2 years, had a new engine, gearbox, turbos, EGR valves, compressor & tank plus many more parts. After having it for 2 weeks, i noticed a small oil patch under engine. I took it to my local indy who said it was a loose turbo hose on drivers side. They raised the car and lowered wheel to allow access to tighten up clip.
All has been well until yesterday when i noticed a small oil patch again. This time, it is on the passenger side and as far as i can tell, with the aid of my trusty inspection camera, it is coming from the turbo area and i can just make out a jubilee clip where the oil seems to be coming from. How easy (or hard) is it to gain access to be able to tighten the clips up or even replace the hose?
I have searched the forum but can only find information on top intercooler hose and complete turbo removal.

Many thanks in advance,

Gary.

Are you sure its a 6 and not TDV8 ?

THe 6 has a turbo only on the passenger side.

The oil leak on drivers side was probably from the intercooler hose which is common.

Yes you can jack it up and axel stands, remove wheel and have a look where the oil is coming from

Thanks for replying Andy, yes, it is a 6 but I just remembered Indy mentioning turbo hose on drivers side, my mistake!
I suppose my real question is although I will be able to see it when raised and supported, will I be able to get in to tighten clip or replace hose?
Cheers
