I thought I had a leaking IRD drain plug but correctly Singoval suggested it was Engine oil and that I needed to find the source soonest, I have now found the source but I cant see how to access it

Same but a wider view,

Now I am not the most mechanically minded but even I can tell its dribbling down between the IRD & The engine,

but I couldn't see where its source was,,then I saw it with a little bit of luck, there is a pipe that enters the engine with a Jubilee clip on it, so I managed to tighten it up, but I still have a leak from the same place, I have managed to get a better picture from Above the IRD, but its very hard to access,,anyone know how to get to this little bugger??

If I managed to get to it and remove it would all the oil come out??
is there a part number to get a new piece of rubber pipe??

I am really stumped at the moment, don't know what to do next,
I have some oil so I can top it up as needed, but I don't really like spilling it all over the driveway and road..

Any help/advise would be very welcomed..

I would love to get more pics but this is the best I can get,
I rested the Camera above the IRD from underneath the car,
pointing slightly towards the gearbox side,,this is going in or
coming out of the engine,,
I will try to find something on line...
 
Found it,,,
Haynes manual,
4B.20 Fuel and exhaust systems - diesel engines

It is referred to as the Turbocharger Oil Return hose from cylinder block fig 16.24

So it tells me how to get there, and its a 3 spanner level (not sure I am there yet)
Assuming I get in there and get to the part in question, will I loose a lot of oil, and is this
oil part of the engine oil that feeds the turbo??

Still cant find a part number for it..
 
Well I think the part number are as follow;

STC3357 or LR005984 = Turbocharger Oil Return hose,

LYE100030L = 18-24mm Jubilee clips,
