98 V79 XC Oil Drip V70-XC70 1998

My 98 XC has 81,000 miles. We have had usual failures (air pump, ABS, door locks). Lately the car has left one oil drip per night on garage floor. It appears just inboard of the driver's side front tire. Based on analysis of prior posts, I see the following possibilities:

1. Turbo oil return line seals
2. Oil pan screws (TSB 2210014)
3. Oil pump retaining screws (TSB 2210023)
4. Oil filler cap gasket

But, I want to rule out rear main seal. The owner's manual calls for the following "PCV nipple (orifice)/hoses, clean" at 60,000 miles. Does this car have a PCV valve, even though it's a turbo? (I know... dumb question). Should cleaning this be a part of tracking down the leak? What are the chances the leak is due to rear main seal failure, and would the rear main seal leak in the area I have described?

Thanks in advance for any help.
