Need Help Sourcing Oil leak on the DSG and Engine - [Golf MK6 GTI]

Hey guys. Hoping someone may have experienced these issues before and can point me in the right direction. So while servicing my car, I have noticed signs of leak on my engine. I have attached the photos.

Would you guys have an idea where it could come from? Is there any possibility the oil at the bottom of the DSG is from an engine leak?

I suspect the leak on the engine side is from the turbo oil feed, the turbo itself or higher up. I dont really mind the engine side leak but the DSG one has me more concerned. I checked the DSG oil filter housing and cooler, it's all dry there, the rear main seal is fine as well. I first suspected the mechatronic pan but I read that the electrical connector for the mechatronic could be a possible culprit?

Upper timing cover gave me that exact same leak. See if you can see the bottom of it and if its wet. Not too uncommon just swap gasket
