There is a front crankshaft seal that the pulley rides on which could be leaking, also the oil pump gasket at the block could be leaking as well. I have seen the oil cooler o-rings petrified on a few different vw diesels, so they are suspect, as is the seal at the block where the oil filter/cooler adapter assembly bolts on. The rubber seal on the cover is pretty much a dust cover, or to keep it from being metal on metal and rattling and making noise I suspect. Your picture also shows the compressor housing of the turbo being oily, which can be from crank case blow by oil draining into the intake tract and leaking out where the intake neck attaches to the turbo, though I doubt your loosing much oil there. It sounds like you should be able to start it up and see a rather aparent leak at the amount of oil your loosing.
