Loads of places really lol and its usually difficult to trace...clean the engine down with cloths/paper towel, then go back to it after an hour and see if its leaked anywhere. Will make it easier to trace, although a lot of leaks occur when driving so take it for a short blast then have a look

They can leak out of the head gasket, or camcase mating face - but either of these should be easily visible!
