Check the gasket on the sump drain plug.
Your leak can be from the front or the rear crankshaft seals. Which will, when leaking, the oil will run down on to the oil pan. Now when driving, the oil gets blown around and it will be hard to tell right where the leak is coming from. Clean it up as good as you can, start the engine and let it sit and idol for a while to see if it will start leaking so you can pin point the area of the leak.
There are three other area's that can leak, here they are in order of how often they occur
1.Engine Valve cover gasket(s) (2 if V6 engine), oil runs down the engine and drips off the pan.
2.Rear crankshaft seal leaking
3.Front crankshaft seal leaking. Oil is blown back by air pressure while driving and rips off of pan.
