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.

GM sells it. Relatively cheap from what I remember and it actually glows neon green in regular light. I've had it in my engine to find leaks. When I worked at a Lincoln-Mercury dealership, they had more expensive stuff that was easier to see but you used special glasses and a special blue light to see it.
