So I posted a few weeks ago that my low oil sensor was leaking and I didn't notice any oil leaking after using 10w40 but I checked my oil a while ago and she was basically empty and I noticed oil dropplets on the sub frame and did a little research and found a video of an Camaro wit oil leaking from the crankcase I think that's right but he basically had the case off and showed where the oil passes threw and where the gasket goes I only experience an oil leak after driving hard so ive been babying the throttle and keeping a close eye on my dip stick some others told me it was the just the oil sensor then oil pan gasket but the oil pan sits behind the subframe and I haven't noticed oil back there just on the passenger's side I'm just trying to narrow it down ive even seen where people said just to rtv the crank case but that was on an ls1 forum for a v8 Camaro haven found much on our fourms
 


The only way to for sure know is to degrease the whole bottom side where you think the leak is. Then onces it's clean you can stick your head under there and watch for the oil leaks. Remove the passenger side tire to help you look for the leak.

The most common on the passneger side are the oil pressure switch, oil filter housing gasket, timing cover gasket and front crank seal. Don't rule out the rear valve cover leaking oil out of the corner on the passenger side too, it could run down the engine block.
 
Timing cover gasket was replaced in March but ive been watching that I'll jack the car up later and check the rest on your list asap thanks

I replaced the oil pressure switch but I noticed an drop of oil fall right over the oil filter housing power steering pump pulley i think when I look on the diagram but it's engine oil
