Default i have a leak

i had the car up on the lift the other day and there was oil all over the under body of the car, but i couldnt see where it was coming from, now when the car is driven for a whle then stopped,it looks like the turbo is smoking, when actually it is the oil underneath heaqting up. is there anywhere on them that is a weak spot, or the leaks oil, any ideas, the earliest the subaru garage can see me is fri, so it will be parked up til then.

any help needed. cheers

The gasket under the cam covers is the usual one for smoke from that side, that or the gasket under the takeoff pipe on top of that corner of the head.
