oil pressure problems

I have a 85 RX7, the oil pressure keeps dropping to zero. When I add oil, it leaks out someplace on the drivers side under the oil filter. But, I am unable to identify the exact source of the leak. Anyone have any ideas on the possible culprit and the fix?

sounds like the o-rings on the bottom of the oil cooler... Most Mazda dealers keep them in stock... I think they're around .50 cents a piece....
