1991 Mazda Miata Leaks Oil?

I own a 1991 Mazda Miata. It however leaks oil, I was wondering what some causes of this could be? Can it just be possibly an oil pan gasket, or could it something other than that?


Depends on where it's leaking from. Oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, rear seal are all possibilities.
