Yes, the big hole on the turbo pedestal is a direct shot to the oil pan.

I would drain as much out as I could, fill with fresh oil, and run her a while. You are going to want to change it out alot sooner than normal as there is only so much water oil can "absorb". In the meantime you will want to keep a very close eye on oil level and condition. If the level keeps increasing or the color of the oil turns milky you will want to stop driving and fix your leak.
