Default leaking oil.....

my friend just got done a crv block with a GSR head and when he put it all back together he found that it is leaking a steady drip of oil but can't figure out why or where its comming from. does anyone have any idea what it may be or how to find it?
thanks in advance. the swap was done into a del sol. i dont know if that helps any or not.

i havent really gotten to talk to him about it alot. i know he just put a new head gasket and everything on the car. he has completely rebuilt the engine.
new endyn pistons/gsr head/crv block and so on and so on.

he said he went back and checked around the head gasket and valve cover and oil pan and still cant find it though.

I'd have to see the car, but it could also be driver side trans axle seal. If installed incorrectly you can tear the seal. Theres so many places it can leak oil from, that i would have to see the car in person to give a definitive answer.

would that cause the oil to come from around the oil pan?
what else might it be so i can give him some things to check out. he said its a steady dripping not just like a little leak.

I would check the oil feed line for leaks, the oil pan will leak if the bolts are OVER tightened.
