All of my leaks have been fixed. I had a leak at the rear of the intake manifold, and my water pump drive seal was leaking like a ****.

no oil leaks here
I made sure to seal the motor up nicely since I wanted it to stay looking nice under the car
I do have bad luck though with trans pans..very, very small leak there.

Yes i get a few dime or quarter size drops here and there, mine currently is attributed to the valve covers. Apparently when the interal supports and baffling are removed oil likes to make its way through the retaining bolt holes, guess the "bolt guides" are more important than I thought. lol

That is unless it's an older subaru
My engine seems to seep a little from the front crank seal. I put a new one in last July, and sometimes it seeps, and sometimes it doesn't. PCV valve and all other mumbo jumbo related is good to go. I had an oil pan leak after 155K , but I fixed that. Intake gaskets if original usually always go too (well the silicone in the back)

my rear main leaks after I turn the car off, but it won't soon. its usually a 1-1.5 quarts between oil changes. my rear pinion leaks as well but also won't soon. and allot of the underside of my car has oil on it but idc, no one sees it and I figure its cheap rust proofing

Speedfreak it looks like you might need some rustproofing after looking at your picture. I lived on the beach for just a year with no garage and its hard on your car.
I guess my leak could be the back of the oil pan. I can see some seepage throught the small hole in the center of the transmission dust cover.
