Look for wet spots and check the usual suspects ie: valve covers, oil pan intake etc.

Re: oil leak locations?
Best bet is to clean everything top to bottom several times and then check it every couple days. If parking in a garage, you can put a piece of cardboard under it to help locate it.
Another common leak is the oil pressure sender located just above the oil filter.
