At the firewall side you have front main seal, oil pump o-ring, and timing cover (sealed to block). FMS is likely. O-ring for oil pump is unlikely but easy to replace while you are there. Timing cover is likely, but you must remove engine to reseal that.
At the clutch end you have the rear main seal (likely), rear plate (sealed to block, unlikely) and the distributor o-ring (likely). The rear plate is not usually leaking but sometimes I pull it out to make the RMS replacement easier (on the bench).
More places to look (where I've seen c900's leak):
- oil pressure sensor leak (mounted on oil filter housing).
- oil line to turbo leak (hairline crack near banjo bolt to block).
- oil cooler lines leaking (o-ring fitting and/or crimp)
- valve cover gasket (outside or inside near plugs)
- oil drain plug (trans or engine)
