Happy to help.

The usual oil leaks are the neutral switch down low on the left side and the O rings on the little valve covers. The oil filter cover will often leak because the bolts are stripped and won't tighten up well. The metal in that area is thin and helicoils will sometimes break through. Time-certs seem to be the go to fix and then installing an oil filter relocation kit if you can find one. Ebay is where I found mine. I haven't installed it yet. It's a priority this year. Also, lubing the final drive shaft splines with moly lube should be done. If those splines go, it's a really expensive repair. Used final drives are hard to find and expensive. Last one I replaced for some one cost $595 used.
