Oil leak

I recently purchased a 1998 eclipse and was told it had no leaks, after a test drive everything was dry and clean. Shortly after 3-4 days I noticed a drip coming from under the car and oil around the head gasket. So I had the head gasket replaced and the oil pan gasket (it was over torqued) was replaced at the same time, now I was told there was also a possible rear main seal leak. I was also told it could be the oil pressure regulator. I don't want to keep paying for fixes and get no where. Any ideas?

Look around and find someone in your area that does UV leak detection. They place UV dye in oil clean engine drive around the hit engine with a blacklight dye glows shows exact location of leak.
Hope this helps
