You have two seals there that u need to contend with.

The first is called the front main seal ... not very expensive just takes a
while to get to the seal . Secondly , you have the oil pan seals them selves
that are both front and rear under were the crank sits.

Your problem with your oil leak; a educated guess is both are leaking.  To
fix the oil pan leak, the oil pan has to come off and be resealed.

Both jobs can be done by the noice with reading "how to" in shotimes Faqs
.... Expierence is nice .. but it will just take u a LOT LONGER to do it
