I would clean the engine well and take it for a light spin around the neighborhood. Then hop under there and see first if its from the front or back of the motor. If from the front, you have a number of locations to check:

front cover
cam cover
head gasket
oil cap
distributor o ring
upper and lower pan

If from the rear:

cam cover
head to cam cover half moon seals
head gasket
upper pan seal
rear main
seal on the trans

Once you start with a clean motor you'll have far more success in locating the leak. If its small...heck don't worry about it. If its making puddles...time to fix.

Best Regards,
John M
