Oil Leak

I have a 1987 Toyota MK1 MR2, with about 65k miles on the engine and 206k on the body.

I have an oil leak I can not seem to find. I could've sworn it is from the oil pan itself as when I have resealed it on there it seems to slow the leak but then ends up getting bad again. I have to check my oil about once every few days to make sure its not too bad.

Where else is a common place the oil would be leaking from?

Thanks in advance

possibly the oil cooler lines, i also still have a slight weep but that seems to be coming from the oil filter housing which will be repaired once the weather warms up again here in NJ

The most common leaks are the cam seals, front and rear main seals and the distributor itself.
