First thing you need to do is find out where the oil is leaking from.

could be any where. you need to start at the top and work your way down. oil might be all over the bottom and the leak was at the top of your engine. also are you sure your leaking and not burning? if you have a place you can properly shampoo your engine and then run it a while under normal use and then look for fresh oil, or take it in and get a dye test done.

best bet, clean it then run it for a bit. trace the leak. I replaced my 92 D-series valve cover gasket,oil pan and still leaked. it turned out the pcv system collapsed and the oil canister had blown its seal from the pressure...I would check that out too...now I just have a little pin leak on the back of the head gasket...After I fixed the pcv no more burning oil at high revs, and the car final holds the oil too
