Where are these oil leaks?

I replaced the utterly flattened o-ring on my oil-level sender thinking I was all fixed. But noooo.
This is a 91 9KT, 160k. There's oil dripping from the bottom of the lower oil-line that leads to the turbo and cooler. It is evident that the line itself is fine, merely this is the lowest point. Can the "podium" that the oil filter is mounted on be leaking around it's base? (Is this a common one? Like the oil-level sender?)
The second leak is at the rear of thepan itself. Once again, I think this is merely the lowest point, but it is so hard to get the car up high enough to get far enough back to see up well enough.... You get my point. I'm just seeking your past experience. Now my oil-filler tube was cracked during the heater-core job, so its base is throroughly-wrapped with duct tape to hold the cracked pipe intact. Could I have some sloshing that seeps out of that poor repair?
And last but not least, yeah it could just be old stuff accumulated, but I did wash the engine before this oil & o-ring change... Hardly a perfect job, but somewhat successful in removing gunk.
Any ideas welcomed, the weirder the better.
