The most common area for any engine to leak oil is the area where TCC, Head, and block meet. With the differences in the metal expansion/retraction due to heat the sealant used will eventually crack. The crack will allow small amounts of oil to leak. There really isn't a good fix for it once it starts other than removing the TCC and cleaning the intersection well. Reapply sealant and allow it to cure fully.
