Oil leak please help

Ok, well on my FD, I am currently not driving the car, I am noticing oil leaking around the oil pan gasket area.

Could this be the oil pan gasket itself or you think something else possibly? and I also have a possible oil leak around the oil filter area, and below the oil filter itself ( It looks shiny)

Im starting to get quite frustrated with all of this, are any of these leaks serious?? I would like to also mention that the engine is

remanufactured/rebuilt with about 30,000k and other then the leaks it runs great. Anyone who can help me out id really appreciate it

the oil metering pump was replaced some years ago ( I foung the paper work) and I dont think this is the problem. now the Turbo return lines... its possible I will keep that in mind (although the turbos are new, they were replaced by the previous owner due to them not making boost) The oil filter is tight and not leaking but I was thinking it might be bad seals for the oil filter pedistal assembly? idk. The leaks arnt too bad, slow leaks.. Im just curious to know if they are serious and if I can fix them myself .. thanks for the help!
