Default Oil leak on turbo'd d17

hey everyone...I have a 2004 civic ex...I turbo'd it about 3 months ago and everything is fine...The only problem I have is the oil leak..It is coming from 2 different places...1st from the oil drain line on my oil pan. I am running a garrett t3/t4 with the OBX manifold ( I KNOW IT SUCKS!!!!!!) and the da*m thing hangs soo low that the oil drain line had to be at a crazy angle...Anyways I put some jb weld on it to try to stop it or help out a little...IT DID NOTHING.......So the other day when I was at my local shop getting my SYS exhaust put on...they told me they saw another leak from another place..I took the car home and found the 2nd leak...It is coming from the Oil Sending Unit...above the oil filter....Any1 know of any way to stop this...other than getting a new oil drain and pan....

As the gasket gets older it shrinks, try to tighten the bolts before you take them down again. Also, your real main seal could be leaking if the oil is coming out of your clutch cover inspection hole.
