Smile Slow oil leak

The car had been flipped and slid before my dad and I bought and repaired it so I'm not sure if that cracked something or what. It seems to leak more from the bottom half of the engine so I think it might be the oil pan gasket or oil pan itself. If not that then I have heard something about the seal on the oil filter housing. Any suggestions?

Yeah, you might want to check the oil filter housing...I had the same problem and replaced the oil housing gasket. I also got the chance to degrease most of the engine while in the process.
