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.

Have you replaced, or taken the oil pan off lately? There could be a possibly if you did take it off that you overtorqued the bolts causing the holes where the bolts go to raise slightly higher than normal. I encountered this and actually rehammered it flat. Also while your at it, go ahead and get rid of that crappy paper gasket and use some high quality silicon instead. Be sure to retorque it down to spec
