Have an oil leak, not sure where it is yet, but it's on the oil pan. The previous owner had the oil pan replaced, so I don't think it's that. what are other common places these vehicles leak besides valve cover?

Common places I would check are the oil filter gasket or the filter could be loose. Next would be the oil pressure sensor. I would check the oil pan drain plug as well.

Here is a guide that can help:
