Leaking Oil !!

My engine is leaking oil, noticed it the other day! What is the most common spots for oil to leak from on an LS1. I would get under there but between the rain and long hours at work, haven't had a chance. Just hoping you guys could narrow the search down for me. Thanls a lot, Leaky LS1!

most likely a seal or gasket, check your rear main seal, the oil pan gasket those are two likely spots

You're going to need to get in there and look - some other places to check are the oil level sensor on the passenger side of the pan, oil pressure sending unit behind the intake, around the oil filter...
