could be,

rear main seal - check for leaks around tranny dust cover

oil pan gasket - check round perimeter of oil pan

front main seal or timing cover - check around timing cover, hard to see with accessory bracket on.

I picked up everything to do the intake pan gasket today I hope this fixes it. Too bad i have to reuse the tin plate and don't have the green to get the fix it plate.
