lots of places for leaks here;
1. check timing chain tensioner is sealed up properly...hard to see in the car, but oil can pour down and appear to be a bad leak at the back of the engine.
2. Oil pump housing...a bugger to fix in situ...but a badly placed crank oil seal OR pump seal can leak like hell.
3. tranny leaks ....diff cover...bearing cup bolts, inner driver oil seals, or gear shift rod seal...(another bugger to replace).
4. turbo oil return pipe seal into engine block...oil creeps backwards and drips off the rear. Oil filter housing leaks can do the same from the alternator side of the engine.
5. finally, (off the top of my head)..tranny to engine sump gasket....you DID use sealant fore and aft and I hope you were VERY careful placing this gasket...if the engine goes down even slightly off dead level to the gearbox, it can slide the gasket around distorting it and leaving a leak.....good luck.
