It's usualy dificult to pinpoint oil leaks. I had a similar oil leak situation. At first-(too cheap to buy a new valve cover seal), I applied silicone which did nothing, I worried that it could be the turbo or as you mention the head to block gasket. Then on the advise of a good Saab parts man, I installed a new valve cover seal and -presto no more oil leaks from that area. -----------Just another pointer - another very simple overlooked oil leak sourse on the other side of the block, can also be the the oil pressure sensor which is located on the oil filter housing. I also had this problem and at first woried that it was the oil pan/trans seal or the oil dipstik base.
