oil leak

It doesen't leak bad, just a drop or two sometimes. I just hate leaking anything so I like to get them taken care of. I got under it and looked around and there is oil on the oil pan bolts on the back of the pan and some oil on the bell housing. I first thought that it was my oil pan gasket, but now I think it may be running down from somewhere. I noticed the return line from the turbo looked like it was leaking from the top and maybe the bottom. Any help would be appreciated

A couple of years ago I found the oil pan gasket leaking slightly next to the starter. I gently snugged the bolts and have had no more seepage there.

If the crankcase vent bottle is still in the stock location and is't emptied in a timely manner, there may be some blowback in this area.

How much oil should come out of the blowby tube? Mine leaks all the time and the bottom of the engine is covered.
