When I hear Ozpin's qoute about his mistakes, I never really saw it literally.

It seems like something someone would say if they made one, majorly scarring mistake, which caused them to view every little imperfection as a mistake.

If he "let someone die" - someone he cared deeply about (Maybe a team member or partner, and by that I mean Summer) - he would be scarred for life.

That's what I see when he talks about his mistakes. I see a man recalling one thing that he feels he messed up so badly on, that of you combined all the world's mistakes, it still wouldn't rival his failure. And the only thing I can see causing that is the death of a loved one (platonic or romantic).
