not to sure about 1.6, but with the petrol 2.0l + turbos I am 90% sure ay least one of the VTT pulleys uses engine oil for lubication - can check tomorrow in VADIS - I would get the top cover off the left side of the engine and have a good look in there - if its wet you need to go back to the garage that did your VTT pulley

Did the leak get worse or better after the oil change ? - could just be the oil filter casing ... its at the front left of the engine.
