Default SI EG leaking oil, need help

I have a 93 EG SI that is leaking oil. I had the timing belt, water pump and cam seals etc. changed roughly at roughly 110k miles.

I'm at 170k miles now.

Unfortunately the engine is dirty so it's really hard to pin point exactly where the oil is coming from. Is there anything that I can do to figure out where the oil leak may be coming from?

I can smell the oil being burnt as I drive. There is no noticeable smoke coming from the exhaust as I drive.

Any ideas?

Common problem is the Dizzy o-ring. Check to see if the top of your tranny is being stained in motor oil. Could be a faulty valve cover gasket, really any number of things. Doesn't hurt to look for oil stains though, or at least feel and sniff around for oil residue.

I just did my t-belt at 135k and when I changed my seals out, they weren't leaking. I doubt the new seals are leaking after only 60k unless the tech that worked on your car got lazy and didn't change them.

If I were you, I'd check the obvious places like the distributor o-ring and vtec solenoid gasket for leaks.
