intermittent oil leak RHW GV

Not expecting much in response but will ask anyway 
Had my GV a few weeks now, it was obvious before handing over the cash that it had an oil leak but during the hour I was testing it never dropped any and I had no issues to suggest anything major was wrong.
After a week I had a cold start problem and after much trying to start the engine the battery gave up, at this point I had the 1st oil issue. A big puddle dinner plate size.... I took the under tray off and it was coming from around the turbo area. Could not be specific but there were fresh drops in that area.
So sorted the glow plugs changed the oil and filter and no further leaks for a week or so, that's about it so now every hundred miles or so I get a few drops on the floor. No major leak like the cold start morning though...
I presumed turbo seals at 1st but not sure, just asking in case one of you guys has come across this before
