Evo 8 engine oil leak
I'm not sure where the oil is coming from, I found a little bit of it on top of the tranny, which is weird I mean air could have blown it all over the place but it being on top of the tranny is weird, and battery tray -- I'll go and get some oil dye as it does look like engine oil.

for the longest time with the help of my shop my car goes too we tried to diagnose the oil leak, after multiple checks, and using oil dye in the engine, turned out the backside of the head between 2&3 was seeping the oil along. So my head gasket had to be redone. So im not saying it is in your case, but I wouldnt rule that out either.

Well in my case it wasn't an oil pan, but I found what it was and it was a oil feed line for the turbo, where it bolts to the head, wasn't torqued well enough and started dripping oil towards the bottom, which seemed like a leak from around the oil pan area.
