I'm giving a (paid!) talk Saturday on soaring and soaring meteorology
to a group of power-rated pilots as part of a continuing education
aviation seminar. I have not been able to find a diagram which
depicts flow over a ridge showing both the lift on the upwind side and
the turbulence/sink on the downwind side and hope someone here might
know of one, particularly if available on the internet so I can get a
copy.

You may want to download this german presentation about Flying safely
in the mountains. A couple of (ugly) diagrams can be useful.

This looked great! Is there an English translation?

My thanks to all who responded. I am going to use two of the diagrams,
one to illustrate soaring lift over a ridge and another to illustrate
dangers to aircraft downstream of a ridge.

which?

One that Peter Deane sent to me outside RAS and one that I altered heavily
from the French version http://www.drjack.net/TEMP/ridgeflow.png

But I should add that I also grabbed some of the other images that
looked better than the ones I had, such as some from York Soaring

This is a better diagram (along with some others):
