The oil leak here is bad enough that smoke is comming through the gap in the gasket. The VVT unit in question is the black round bit and the aluminum part with three black bolts in it.

I took this just to show that somebody has replaced this CV boot or joint and failed to clean up the mess leaving axle grease sprayed all over the transmission and sub-frame.

Bad bending practices that restrict exhaust gasses and will overheat the turbos and cats causing premature failure.

Passenger side upper control arms. You can see the damaged boots on the arms and the tire rod end, but the real concern is the rubber bushings on the inner ends of the arms. Close-ups are in the next few images.

This one is so bad that it had shifted rearward and was cutting through it's mount. You can see just above the rubber bushing where the metal is shiney from being worn through.
