Oil leakage!!!
 
I was just wondering what could be leaking oil? There are drops from what looks like from all corners of the motor. Any advice would be welcomed.

lol, I love it when people get on here and ask us where their engine is leaking oil from. It will be coming from the wet spot. Not to trying to be an ass, but its true. Look for a spot where two parts mate together, or where there is a gasket for the oil system like the front cover, or the oil pan or the oil cooler lines attached to the block, the filter or something like that. Most of the time stuff drips down, so look straight up and trace the wetness back to the source. Everything above the source will be dry. It doesn't usually spray unless its a big high pressure leak. Sometimes it will only drip when the engine is running so if you can't find the source, turn the car on and see where it drips from. Look in the FSM to see where oil circulates or if you aren't familiar with all the components of the oil system.

More specific. Leak coming from engine front, area around oil metering pump. Hard to see/trace even with fan,shroud,radiator hoses off! Any advise? ie; Must be front cover? or Must be metering pump? or it's gasket? Any advise. We have 85 RX7 78,000 miles, cherry. Thanks
