    check the sump plug first mate,check its tight then give it a wipe off then just keep looking to see if its leaking,copper washer might not have been replaced last time it was serviced. other than that you might be best getting the engine steam cleaned then take it for a short drive then have another look,should be able to pin point where the leak is coming from more easily then.

    As toju has stated. Also you need to be definite as to where the oil is leaking from, as it could be from a number of places, incuding leaking from the oil seals of the driveshafts, oil pump, crank, oil sump etc.
