I was just wondering if there are any common places that 2g fwd leak oil from often. I am pretty sure that it is coming from the oil pan, but just wanted to see if anyone had any other areas to look at. It does have a balance shaft eliminator kit, didnt know for sure if it could leak from there. Also were is the best place to get oil pan gaskets. I think Im going to just go the dealership but open for any suggestions.

As I've found out, DSMs can leak from every orfice possible. Exhaust manifold studs, valve cover gaskets, PCV valves, intake gaskets, valve cover bolts, turbo oil drain tubes, etc. etc. etc. You're actually going to have to diagnose this one. It's hard telling what's leaking without seeing it. Retrace the oil stream back to wherever it's coming from. Then you'll know where it's coming from.
