^lol.

Although not impossible, It's pretty rare for an oil pan to just start leaking from the front and rear all of a sudden. Get under there and try snugging up the bolts first. If they are tight, I would keep looking for the single place of the leak just to be sure.

A great way to do it is to degrease and power wash the entire lower half of your engine and keep monitoring it every few miles. You'll be able to pin point it for sure that way.

Are you sure your oil filter is seated correctly with only one O'ring?

How about the oil sending unit?

Cam covers?

haha I never got a chance to get under the car, plus when it comes leaks I have a hard time seeing where they leak especially when its up front. I had a differential leak awhile ago, fixed that, was easy.
