Oil leak - where from?

Hi,
I have been driving my wife '02 95 lpt wagon (158k miles), and noticed an oil burn smell and vapor while sitting a red lights. I crawled under to try to identify the source. The burn/vapor is coming from oil running onto the second cat.
The rear side of the pan is coated on the drivers side, but the block above seems to be clean. There is some oil on the starter, some on one of the turbo feed lines (I think that is coming from a separate leak on the front side, maybe cooler).
Does this sound like sump gasket? The car has the PCV update, can those clog? It has been moist/wet for a long time, but it is loosing more. It is the wrong end for the oil pump, and do not want to think about flywheel seal. I will power wash the lower side on the weekend, and see what starts leaking.
Thanks for any pointers ideas.
