I have a small oil leak up high on the passager side. Cant find it any ideas it just started and sometimes it seems to get worse.

If it is on the upper side of the block it could be a injector wireing pass thru leaking a glow plug or valve cover or rocker box just guesses tho I can't see it from here.

What about turbo? Its coming more from the fire wall

Ahh ok then, the the turbo has a drain tube with o-ring on each end these rings get brittle and crack causeing a leak. There is an updated tube that fits better and has better orings that may fix your leak.

It's not a hard fix you just have to remove the turbo then the turbo drain tube. Then install the drain tube and then the turbo.
