Also had a lot of oil on the turbo boost hose (orange) that seamed to be blowing around the connection points. Could also have been from the CCV hose (replaced), I don't think it was open, but it fell apart in my hands taking it out, so it's possible it was leaking under pressure.
I took the vacuum pump apart and resealed it (couldn't find a gasket for the cover, so had to use gasket maker), and its been dry since. As far as I can tell (a couple of thousand miles later) the driver's side of the block is still dry as well..

Yeah, I think it might be Intake manifold gaskets, too. I'll of course do the valve cover and gasket when I replace the manifold and its gaskets. The oil everywhere could be a combination of leaks, I'm hoping it's not the turbo or the feed and drain lines -yet - as I'm told that requires, or at least is made easier by pulling the engine. And that would introduce a bunch other breakage.
