Considerable oil leak 900

Just had transmission sevice done on my 940 and mechanic notice considerable oil under engine. I thought it was not as bad as he said, but when brough it back home and opened the hood, it was all over (belts flinging it around) and splash guard full of it. A small puddle formed where to car was sitting. I did not notice this problem before going the the trany shop, and I would have certainly noticed that kind of a leak.

A preliminary check seems to indicate that it may be coming from the turbo oil return tube (or whatever it's called). I'm going to get into it this afternoon. Does anyone know if there can be pressure buildup in the engine from something clogging crank case ventilation? I don't think the 940 has a flam trap does it?
