Most of the time, an assumption without data is going to be incorrect. In your specific case, it's unlikely that the oil supply line is leaking. It's possible that the turbo drain line is leaking..........you'll need to take a look at the drain tube where it enters the oil pan.

However, many times leaks in this area are the result of oil that gets into the intake system and pools at the turbo inlet. It's fairly common on high mileage engines.

Try to isolate the source of the leak before doing a bunch of work for nothing.
