Oil leaks

Hi guys just wondering if anyone might be able to help out with a couple of oil leaks I seem to have.
I have one comming from the sump somewhere, im going to check the sump seal and replace the drain plug washer to see if that helps.
But I also have one towards the back of the engine, I have replaced the crank & camshaft oil seals and the tappet cover seal.
And its not comming from te head gasket, does anyone know where else I should check for leaks?
Thanks

Clean it real good. Go for drive. Park it, jack it up and have a look underneath.

if you split a cv boot you will have little drops every where but its like grease so it wont run it wil just stay in drops

Do the exhaust manifold bolts have oil galleries behind them like a lot of mitsubishis???
