Well the most common one is the cam cover gaskets leaking oil due to the breathers not being cleaned out regularly.

If you have oil in the plug wells it is those gaskets that are leaking!

This is the OOF guide on how to fix:

IME the most typical leaks are from cam covers, oil pressure switch and crank seal. Oil coolers don't typically leak outside (haven't seen one yet)  :y

Leak-wise all V6 are similar.

I've seen a couple where the banjo bolts have needed nipping up.

Yes, just remembered reading about that "feature" somewhere on the forum. I stand corrected.  :-X
