The front of the car would have been oriented facing toward the top of each of the two pictures. So you can see where the leaks appear to be coming from both the front and back of the engine.

It's pretty apparent that the leak at the rear (rear main seal and/or pan gasket) has grown a bit. Though I am planning to keep the car a few more years at least, Bill's post got me to thinking. Not sure if I'm ready to sink $1.5k - $2k (my estimates) into an $8k car.

If these were your leaks would you be chasing them down?

And what's interesting too, is that during the driving season, I see no leakage at all. I guess the heat from regular use must keep the seals, well, 'sealed'. It's only when it sits for a minimum of several weeks that I see the above.
