i got an oil leak and I need someone to clarify which part is leaking. I always find about 3-5 drops of oil in different spots after driving the car. I'm thinking it's my front main seal or oil pan gasket is bad. It can't be the valve cover gasket cuz I only see oil on the bottom half of the motor. It's a KA motor btw.

Is your oil filter tight and did you grease the seal before putting it on (if you changed it... )

I found the leak a day before I changed my oil and filter. So it can't be that.

front main seal leaks on every KA engine I ever saw. Takes about 30 minutes to replace. buy two just in case you screw the first one up.

Get a piece of card board, put it on the ground, drive your car, park warmed car over cardboard adjust cardboard, wait for drops. Use a protractor, level and compass to estimate where the drops are possible coming from. Then divide by https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/Pi-symbol.svg/588px-Pi-symbol.svg.png
