I have an oil leak. I changed the oil pan gasket during the weekend but there's still a leak and I don't know what it is.
Could it be the old oil leaking off when the engine heats up ?

best bet. clean the oil pan well so no leaks/oil is on there.
driver car around. stop put it back up and examine for leakage
Are you sure you're leaking (puddle on floor)? You may be burning oil.
If you're leaking, also check the valve cover. Often times the gasket goes bad, and you'll have oil dripping down either the front (by the fan) or the rear (by the firewall).
Other than that... uh... rear main seal? (Or whatever it's called...)
Good luck!
