go to NAPA and by some additive for your oil. it glows in the dark and you can use a blacklight to track down the leak.

it works everytime

EX cam end plug.
Distributor o-ring.
Head gasket corners.

Those are the most common I've seen or experienced.

WTF? lol.

Find the highest point of oil on the motor and there's your leak. I can't think of any two possibilities on the same side/height of the motor, so it shouldn't be too hard.
