Multiple Oil Leaks?

I took my car to a local shop today to have them perform some body work, and since I have to leave my car there I asked them to also see about replacing a few things around the engine. Well, a few hours after I drop it off I get a call saying that there are multiple oil leaks. They said the only way to tell for sure where they're coming from is to run dye through the engine and then put it under a black light.

I have a few ideas as to where it could be leaking just from searching the post archives, including the oil pressure switch, crank seal, or valve cover gasket (which I read is supposed to be replaced about this time on my car anyway). Are there any other locations that our cars are known to commonly leak at? My car is a 1994 G20t with about 97,000 miles. Thanks in advance for the help.

Add the oil pan to your list. If your car is lowered, or it has ever bottomed out and/or hit something, your seal on the oil pan could be leaking.
