This car was leaking like mad. I replaced the following:

3 gaskets in the front timing cover (the 2 vertical ones, and the one shaped like a half rectangle horizontally at the middle)
oil filter housing gasket
oil filter housing bush
oil pan gasket
retapped/redyed and cleaned threads of oil drain plug and oil drain hole
front seal
rear seal

The car still leaks oil and seems to be leaking closer to the rear of the engine (or maybe that is because the oil blew back their from freeway speeds). The only other thing I can think of is the dipstick o-ring. How do I get rid of these LEAKS!
