Like Paul said, it's probably the main seals, cam seals, or valve covers. If it's the oil pan, it should be pretty easy to see, and best of all, that's one of the easier ones to replace since you don't have to take the engine half apart to get to it!
WOW, someone else with leaks LOL....I`m trying to track mine down too, got down to the cams and crank seals...I`m thinking might as well do a timming belt while it`s open....
Someone told me you can put some A/C leak dye in the oil and in a couple of days check with a dark light to see where the leaks are coming from....Clean motor thoughrly(sp?) real good first...
