So ive changed everything including: Oil Filter housing gasket, Vacuum pump, Oil Filter Rubber, Turbo oil feed pipe, Rocker cover gasket.

Im running out of ideas and its still dripping oil from somewhere. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be or are there any common oil leaks apart from what ive listed.

I'd suggest you wash the engine off, let it dry & then give it a liberal dusting of talcum powder.
That should give you some clue.

& smell nice.
