Bad Oil Leak on 3.0

[nghtshd88]

My 2nd Gen v6 has had a small oil leak since I got it last fall and one spot is the IMT on the upper manifold in the back but its developed a really bad leak underneath leaving a good puddle over a few days...

Looking at it I only see some damp marks around the head gaskets and VCG's. Have 100k miles. Nothing leaking on the front or sides really.

What are the possible things in the back or in general that it could be? Besides maybe the pan.. Any sensors? Just trying to at least know where to look more or whats typical on the v6.

Put some dye in it and hit it with a black light to trace the leak. If you don't feel comfortable doing it go to the dealer and pay the $100 diagnostic fee to find it.
