Leaking oil from some where.....
Alright so i got an 01 2.7t with 160xxx miles on it. The turbos are the original turbos my parents bought the car with back it 2001; they've never been replaced. my cars leaking oil....could it possibly be leaking from the turbos? or is there another popular place for the 2.7t to leak oil from?

Like nemohm said, have a dig around. There's lots of places the oil likes to come from.
Random sampling: valve cover seals, camshaft seals, oilpan gasket, rear main, etc.... Where is the oil pooling under the car? Do you see blueish smoke from under the hood at any point? Are you sure it's motor oil (sorry...have to ask), as there's plenty of other things it can be too (case in point: my wife's '99.5 A4 had an oil leak. Or so I thought. Turns out it was the return line from the power steering pump cooling loop).
160K out of the K03's is impressive, but that's not necessarily where you start.
