Classic impreza oil leak...

My99 has today decided to leak oil :'( until I can get it to a garage I just wondered what the common leaks are on these? And if they are relatively easily sorted?
Any help please..

Probably most common parts to leak oil would be the drivers side rocker cover gasket. Not a hard job but fiddly

Also front crank seal.if leaking from.there take the oil pump off and check 5 screws that hold back on as common to undo and let high pressure oil past front crank seal and will lead to bottom end going.
