My GN is leaking a good bit of oil. After I drive it, a small puddle of oil will form. I have no idea where it is coming from, it seems to be wet with oil in the backside where the oil pan bolts on to the block. Do bad rear crank seals leak ALOT of oil, I'm not to familiar with what leaks alot in these cars since mine never did alot. Is it common that the oil pan gaskets can get bad and leak alot or is there some where else in the backside of the motor that could be leaking quite a bit?

Welcome to the oil leak world. the turbo cars are
leak freaks. The rear& front seals,valve cover
gaskets,and oil filler tube vents.There are solutions to the problems
Use the neoprene front&rear seals,cork valve cover gaskets,vent tubes on drivers and pass drivers valve covers.I have tried several vent
tubes and found Kirbans the best. If you are a daily driver clean the vent filters often.

Clean your motor or with a flashlight look from underneath the car check to see if the valve cover
gaskets are leaking.Oil pan gaskets do leak bad
too.Go with cork if you change.
