A lot, or a little?

Typical places to check would be the rear of the intake manifold (reach back on passenger side and feel for an oil leak), or it's possible one of the timing cover seals is shot. Hopefully it's not a rear main seal. You'll just have to crawl under the car and check...

could even be the oil filter adapter leaking or the oil pan. You'll have to crawl under there and pinpoint it for us
