Leaks on oil pan and gearbox with pictures

Hi all, thanks to all your help been throw smog test and annual inspection with almost no problem.
The new spark plugs, rebuild injectors and fuel pump must have something to do with that. Also right pedal happy.

The only problems raised by the kind sir was some leaks and a failing flex disk, which already noted and ready to change.

The leaks were mainly on the bottom of the oil pan and I have a picture of where it does accumulate.

The other leaks, two more were near the gearbox.
One appears to be on the joining with the motor:

The pictures aren't that good but if more wanted I can try to get.
If anyone knows of "usual" places for the leaks or can give some tip/advice7help all appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Hard to see the pics, they seem to be thumbnails.

As far as oil leaks, one common place is the drain plug on the oil pan. Then there is the oil pan gasket itself. another place for leaks is around the oil filter. Then there is the valve cover gasket and the timing chain (If your car has one) cover gasket.

All of these gaskets should be replaced. I will be doing the same shortly. My oil pan gasket is done along with the rear mail seal. I just need to do the rest :o))

Hi all. Hi CarDriver.

I think it's related with oil pan gasket. And for the main rear seal if between the motor and gearbox there can be the problem. Are those DIY??
Mine is a M50B25. I'll check for the timing chain cover.

Best regards
