94 850 Turbo with Sudden Oil Leak 850 1994

All of a sudden, I'm down 4 quarts of oil.

I've got 137k on the car.

Under the car, oil is leaking from the drivers side of the engine where it interfaces to the transmission. Also, in the general area of the turbo.

As well, white smoke comes from the exhaust on startup, but no antifreeze is missing.

How do I diagnose the problem? It could be the real main seal, the turbo oil return line, or the turbo itself.

Would dye in the oil help identify the problem?
