Hi,
typical places known for leaking:
- timing chain tensioner seal - tensioner is screwed into cylinder head from the intake manifold side (access through hole in a bracket - deep 27mm socket).

When removing the tensioner, you can check the timing chain extension by removing the small plug and spring before unscrewing the whole tensioner - measuring how much it protruded.

- oil pressure sensor (over the starter motor, hard access, removal of starter motor is recommended)
- timing cover - usually at the top (metal-metal contact sealed with anaerobic sealant Loctite 518)
- oil catch tank O-ring sealing it's output into engine block (it could not applicable depending on production year)
- valve cover seal
- crank pulley seal
Usually engines in this age are leaking slowly from almost everywhere, so the best idea is to clean the whole engine with degreaser and observe.
