Default Oil Leak Help

Hello All,

I have an oil leak(s) that I'm not sure where it's coming from. I'm replacing the drive shaft so you can see from the pictures that there is oil pretty much all over. I'm not sure if someone else can tell by the picture where the most likely place the oil is coming from (maybe multiple leaks). It's a 1995 with 150K on it. There is also oil all over the power steering pump. If you have any ideas let me know. I have more pictures but I can only post one...

Thanks.

Its hard to see but here's some possible areas to check:
Rear valve cover gasket
seals behind the timing cover (cam/crank seals)
power steering pump, or hoses

Have you done the timing belt yet?
If you haven't changed it (2nd time by now), change all the seals behind the timing cover.

To make sure, clean your engine (especially in that area), and let the car idle for a while, this should indicate where the leak is coming from.

Wow thats been leaking for a while
Both upper and lower sections of the oil pan are definitely leaking, bad. I cant tell if the crank seal is leaking, but the timing belt tensioner is soaked but that might be p/s fluid. Cant tell. Look inside the timing cover if you can. You should get that fixed asap, thats a pretty severe leak.
