Default Clutch wet with oil? help

Ok so ive got a turbo EM1 and ive been dealing with an oil leak for the longest time, I thought it was my oil return from the turbo back to the oil pan. but now im thinking its perhaps the Oil Pan gasket?

i did a clutch change saturday and when we took off the tranny the bell housing was wet with oil, not the typical clutch dust you would find. is it possible that if my oil pan gasket is leaking where the fly wheel shield covers about an inch of the oil pan itself and allowing oil to splash up into my clutch area?

any help? thoughts?

yeah. same thing happened with my dsm. sometimes it would slip as soon as the turbo spooled, but otherwise no slippage at all. it was weird. im glad i got rid of that beast.
