 The most common oil leaks seem to be from the valve covers.

 Or the valley pan gasket:

 There is also a seal under the intake manifold that leaks:

 Here's a tip I got off the list -- clean (degrease) the engine thoroughly,
 let it dry, then sprinkle the suspected areas with talcum powder.  Any
oil leaks will leave telltale tracks.
