Oil leak front driver's side

Hi guys, I went for a last drive today before restoring my car (997.1 Turbo) and I noticed a good amount of oil on my garage floor.

Looks like oil was leaking from the front driver's side area of the car.

Any ideas what it could be? clutch? front differential?

Bingo!

Looks like the reservoir is leaking from the top (loose cap), the rubber hose underneath and wires around it are full of oil... Strange thing is that the reservoir is completely full... Where should I start? Change the reservoir?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks saabin!
