Oil can find a number of pathways before it hits the ground. Just because it hits the ground at the front of the engine it doesn't mean the turbos aren't leaking or the rear main seal hasn"t failed.

The only way to find a leak is to fully clean the engine, leave the engine underbody cover off, then go for a 20-30 minute drive and get under to see where the leak originates from.
