You sound pretty sure you've found the leak. If you haven't yet, before you go to all the trouble of pulling the pan, replace your turbo's oil return pipe O-ring and gasket. Under $10 for parts and a 30 min job on ramps. When they start to leak the oil gets EVERYWHERE. I wasn't losing much oil but the entire backside of the block, pan, trans and subframe were coated in oil. After replacing the two parts and cleaning up the mess there's not a drop of oil anywhere under the car.

Good luck, BTW, if you do proceed with the pan, how about pictures?
