can be from just about anywhere.. you'll have to do some cleanup work and check with a light to figure out the source. most commonly:

oil metering pump
leaky dowel pin o-rings
front cover to engine gasket blown
front main seal
rear main seal or stat gear o-ring
oil cooler lines
cracked oil cooler
oil filter pedestal o-rings

now, considering i listed just about everything that carries oil you can see where we won't be of much help unless you give a specific location.

Pressure wash the motor and buy a dye kit and save yourself the headache. You will find the leak(s) in a fraction of the time this way.
