Engine oil leaks
OK guys, who has dropped their engine to repair oil leaks. I'm planning to drop this week-end to repair many small leaks that I just can't stand anymore.(these leaks I should have fix two months ago when i had the gearbox/engine out when I replaced the synchro's) Where's the most common leaks? push rod tubes?, sump plate?, cylinder base? come on guys share your knowledge.

Don't know if there is a 'most common leak' area but one that is hard to find or see with the engine in the car is the oil cooler seals.

Cylinder head rubbers and pushrod tubes for me, and the crankshaft seal, fan belt end. Valve cover gaskets should be the ones with the metal middle, no sealent needed, breather grommets in the valve covers, thats depending on the year I believe, my 69 has them.
