The compression fittings leak if they loosen up any.

Front seal is another area.

Pan gasket.

sometimes a hairline crack can develope at the end of the flare ware it screws in on either end,you have to take them off and wipe them clean,you may even need a magnifying glass to see them that happened on my 99.

Got to start by cleaning up the mess and then run it a little and try to determine what is leaking.
