These engines were well known for leaky oil pan gaskets, do you guys think it could just be a pan gasket?

Anyways, what about the oil pan gasket? Could the oil be comming from the pan gasket?

Motorhead, 95% of the people here have no access to vehicle hoist. I happen to have an engine hoist in my garage and without you being a little more specific, that was my assumption. Now.. let'* stop the sarcasm and bickering...and move on to helping people.
It could be the oil pan, however..it'* much more common for the rear main seal to leak. Especially at this spot.
To those with the issue. Both cars I've had did this from before I got them. Simply wiping the oil pan off with a rag when you change the oil, keeps it from ever dripping on the ground.
