When removing my starter at the weekend, i noticed a little drip of oil on the bottom of the actuator?
Where could this be coming from? Car is due at AVA in 2 weeks, is this a major problem?

Could be a couple of places:
Oil feed to turbo
Oil return from turbo (turbo end - either gasket for the metal return pipe or the join where the oil return rubber hose joins the metal return pipe)
Oil return rubber hose where it joins the block - also check for splits in the hose.
Rocker cover Gasket.

Depending on where its coming from and how much its dripping it may or may not be a problem, best to investigate/keep an eye on the oil level just in case tho!

Could be a leaky actuator oil seal, (The oil mist in the air is collecting inside the actuator, and leaking out).
Clean everything up and keep an eye on it...
