First you have to find out where the leak is FOR SURE. Make sure that your oil is full, then clean off the area really well where you think the oil is leaking from. Run the motor up to operating temps,find ur leak. $.02
I should've posted this in my earlier response, but you can purchase dyes that will glow bright orange under a black light and you will easily see where the leak(s) is/are.
When I worked in a shop, we did this all the time to pin point leaks in cooling systems.

So i found a crack in the area where the drain bolt is. i had a replacement pan already so i did the whole replacement. Also im changing my cat. converter because the check engine light came on with code:420. The car seems to be having a hard time accelerating and im wondering if you guys can give a general symptom. The spark plugs are new and the wires, do i need to replace the coils too?
Start with replacing the cat and see if you don't "pick up" some lost power. IOr better yet, get rid of both CATs. In general, you do not need to replace the coil packs. It's unnecessary and very costly. Are you misfiring or something?
