oil leak--can't find the source

I have an '88 900S with 109,000 miles. It runs great but an oil leak develops at speeds over 60 mph. The leak does not appear to be large but I can't tell where it is coming from. Looking at the engine from the driver's side of the car, oil appears to be coming from somewhere on the lower part of the engine below the cylinders, possibly one of the gaskets, and dripping down from there. Does anyone happen to know the most common causes of such oil leaks and how to repair them? Does it sound like a gasket is bad? Is it possible that I would have to remove the engine to fix the leak? Since the leak is pretty small, could I ignore it for the time being?
