Lower oil pan could be feasible, but bed-plate no way. Bed-plate is also part of lower crankshaft bearing journals. My bed-plate has had a minor seep since truck was new, gathers oil slightly on lower bell housing, has not ever gotten any worse, so it's not worth the work to me to repair and I didn't trust anyone doing it under warranty way back when. Best way to tackle these operations would be to pull the engine.
A day late and a dollar short on my advice, but turbo removal is not that bad on these trucks....and glad you found & fixed leak.
