Oil pan
The oil pan gasket is prone to leaks and it's not easy to change. Mine became easier when I disconnected the engine mounts and lifted the engine about 6 inches.

Oil pan gasket is not a very common place for leaks, but you have to replace it when you do the rear main seal anyways...
Most common are the valve cover, the rear main seal, and the oil filter adapter.
