I've got the same car, 2000 S. Common leaks are the spark plug tubes, if the leak is coming from either side. Leak from the center of the car, ims/rms?

Oil that you can see when you open access covers. Which cover? On top of engine or behind the seats?

Thanks for the info. I'll pull the access cover back off and reinspect after it warms up a little bit. I'll plan on ordering new tubes along with the plugs.

The main oil i saw was from getting under the car - it was too dirty for me to really pinpoint the source at the time. I removed the top access panel (checking MAF and fuel pressure) and the back top of the engine is really dirty. I can't be sure it was oil, but dirty fluid of some sort. I don't know enough about these cars to know what other fluid could be found there.

I definitely intend to clean it up and then inspect for the source of fluid leaks.
