Default Oil Leak Question

After a few months of ownership, I finally got to pulling the engine tray off. Seems that the tray was responsible for my garage floor remaining oil-free for these few months, as there was oil inside the tray.
After my investigation, cleaning, driving, investigating again, it looks like the source is one of the head bolts (Correct term on one of these motors?) on the driver's side. Looking from under the car, right between the oil return tubes on that side.
It doesn't seem to leak when the car sits...only after I drive it, and even then, just a drop or two on the floor, then it stops.
Any thoughts? I would have posted some pics, but it seems my digital cam is MIA at the moment. (Note to self - ask 3 yr. old daughter about camera tomorrow morning.)

Hopefully, you won't need a rear main seal, as I discovered I need on Thursday.

Good luck!

Sounds like time to replace the oil return tubes. Not to hard, just time consuming. There is a DIY on P-car.com
