I recently had my starter replaced and my garage said it was covered in oil and that may be why it failed. My mechanic in Canada says he can't find the necessary part. I will be in Florida for 2 weeks and asked him to send me the info and here is what he sent " Its the turbo oil line. It's either the inlet or outlet, not sure which one but if a shop there will lift it to check it should be obvious which one is leaking once the under cover is removed, you'll need the seals for it as well." I used 2 litres of oil driving the 1500 miles from Canada to Florida and would like to at least find a parts source in the States before going home so if necessary I can order them and have shipped to Canada. Can someone who is more knowledgeable than me(just about anybody with a pulse) offer suggestions ?

It is possible that the vacuum pump could be leaking down over the transmission onto the starter area.
As @Sumps stated turbo lines are to the right of the starter.
Starter is located in the 1st pic, and red arrow area in the 2nd picture.
The turbo oil lines are the purple bolts in the 2nd pic.
The bottom pic is the vacuum pump location, red arrow.
Look beside the battery box area and see if the vacuum pump is damp with oil.
Do you see drips on the ground where you park the car.
