Massive oil leak behind engine onto exhaust.. V70-XC70 2000

Well when it rains it pours...Just trying to get ahold of these ever worsening leaks and then she blows a top...I don't know what happend because it was dark on friday night but the smoke was billowing out when we got off the 20 miles of freeway driving. It appeared it was from in the turbo area. I still had oil on the dip stick so we drove the 4 blocks to the dealer. If you remember I have been having a series of small leaks. The turbo had its usual drop hanging under the air inlet and I thought the largest was out the bevel gear vent hole. Then I had a new one up front around the radiator. Klaus suggested I check the breather tube. Well I didn't get to check the breather tube before the night out with the wife. We dropped it off at the dealer and used late night check in and took the train home. I have this dreaded thought of how much it might cost to fix this brick. Turbo, engine who knows? Even after they fix it I am sure it will still drip everynight from somewhere?
Just when you determine to keep the beast and fix it up real good and get the best of the leaks she tests you anew.
