335i Oil leak above Downpipes?

Hello all...Recently fitted VRSF DP's done 1000 mile fine no problems. but recently I've noticed more than usual sweet smelling white smoke out from the exhausts, aslong with that I've noticted oil being burnt off dripping onto the RHS downpipe, (as shown in the photo) my question is has anyone experienced this before and what are the possible causes?

Cheers!

After some more investigating I Believe it's the oil lines/seals to the turbos...either return or feed I'm not sure

If it's the oil line to the turbo, might as well replace the coolant line too to avoid headache again if that line fails later too.
I had a coolant leak on a turbo line, decided to replace the oil line too.

Ok thanks!...Rough idea how much it all set you back, parts and labour wise?

The lines won't break your wallet. It's the labor that will.
Im from Canada so I paid 1000 all together.
This would also be a good time to consider turbo upgrades and down pipes, since they are dismantling.
