Left or right?  On one side you have the oil filter and oil pressure switch
on the other you have nothing.

I don't know where on a turbo model the oil feed/return comes from.

================================================

Sounds like an oil seal as opposed to a gasket.  Gaskets leak more slowly.
You have 4 oil seals, one at either end of the crackshaft (if the one behind
the clutch is leaking the oil will go backwards in the engine.
You have one oil seal at either driveshaft.

Unless you look and come back with more information there is very little I
can think of by guessing.

Charles
