Default Oil Leak on a DSM please help!!!

First off, I've searched for about an hour to find a thread but I got nothing. I spent about 5 hours under my car in the past few days and I can't find the problem

If anybody know's, I would GLADLY appreciate it.

Thanks Alot

The car is a 97 GST. 101k miles. manual.

this is a very vague description but you should start with the easy things the valve cover gaskets the oil cap seal maybe the half moon seal. it could be your head gasket or even the exhaust manifold studs

not sure what k0rupt ed posted as the red "X" came up but the problem is my actual valve cover is cracked from overtighting. That is for the few people that care, if any

That's great if yours keep leaking but I've owned mine for quite some time now and it's been drip free up untill this recent incident and it hopefully will be leak free when I fix it.
