2) Intake Manifold - Front seal
3) Timing Cover
4) Valve covers
5) also, to be safe, make sure your oil filter is snug.
6) Oil pan gasket

Also, check the oil pan drain plug. Make sure it's not loose and your oil leak isn't comng from there. After some time, the drain plug can start to leak oil and simply replacing it can fix a leak.
If possible, jack up your car, support it with horses, crawl underneath and wipe down every place you can see that has oil on it. The best thing you could do is jack up your car from the front, support it with horses and then jack up the rear and support it with horses, so the car is now resting level. If you're in a driveway, get the car as level as possible. You must use horses for your safety. Crawling underneath a car without horses is inviting serious injury or death. The reason for keeping the car level is to ensure proper oil flow. The oil pump will pump oil no matter what angle the car is at, it's simply a matter of ensuring the oil pump is working at its peak efficiency.
After the car is level and supported by 4 horses, start it and crawl underneath. Make sure you keep your hands away from any moving parts and be very careful what you touch. You can easily get burned. Simply look for any oil developing or if you see a drip, you might see where it is coming from. That's the reason for wiping everything down beforehand.
