Some of the leaks may not be easy to locate because the heat exchangers are in the way. In my case there was a bit of oil dripping on top of the HEs and the smell was horrible.
I had leaks at the exhaust valve covers (the bottom ones), oil return tubes, and Bermuda triangle. It all added up to a stinky car and greasy mess in the engine compartment.
