Spoke too soon; still have the leaks.

BUT, clearly one of them is the lower oil pan gasket. The other is dripping down from the passenger/firewall area and I haven't nailed it down yet.

Both are somewhat slower with the oil level kept right instead of probably overfilled. And it took actually driving the car around for awhile and heating up the oil and getting it circulating to make them leak.

A new oil pan gasket should fix one of them, but how much success have you all had with stop-leak kinda stuff?
