This is after degreasing it then taken for a 10 min drive. Does it look like its coming from timing cover or sump? Does it usually start leaking this bad in a matter of weeks since it wasn't leaking a month ago when got serviced.

In short factory filter can block causing turbo to starve.

But if aftermarket turbo line had been installed and over torqued it can crack sump.

I still say timing cover.

I bought a Mazda MPS brand new in 2010.

5000km in it started leaking oil. About 8 trips to the dealer and a new engine later, as the old one had a porous engine block.

All cars can have problems.

timimg cover leak will be seen from the very front of the sump. have a look at the front of the engine,there will be oil everywhere including up around the turbo housing,thermo fans blow it all over the place.your pics look like the filter is leaking.the turbo oil line is located above the filter bolted into the block itself.
