I had a similar leak, it was the oil lines to the turbos.

Looks like I might have spoke too soon. The largest leak may be from the new turbo oil line. There's still some leaking on the drivers side of the pan but it's a lot less.

mine doesn't leak and like Rynberg stated earlier, you can tell what shops do replacement engines more than other since the ones that do more, know the stock oil pan gasket sucks and just replaces it while replacing the car.
The shop I go to stated the same thing that they have yet to do a replacement that didn't leak at the gasket so they just go ahead and replace the gasket with the engine.
