the most common place is the rear main seal for an oil leak bc of the 2 piece design. if its the rear main seal it will be leak between the engine and the bellhousing. The other place is your valve covers so check them too the stock cork gaskets are a problem. if they are the probelm change the gaskets to the metal fel-pro gaskets your VC will never leak again. the last place could be the oil pan itself bc of the 2 peice cork gaskets that were used. if thats the problem replace the gasket with the 1 peice rubber fel-pro gasket
