oil leak

i have a 92 rs camaro with a 305 and its leaking oil i think its either the pan gasket, timing cover gasket, or seal around harmonic balancer. it doesnt leak when its running just when driving so i guess its a pressure leak and its spraying up onto foam of the hood the insulation underneath car is soaked from front bumper to the back of the front tires any ideas i dont wana start throwing all sorts of money into gaskets cause over the winter im gona rebuild motor anyways but this is my dd for now and i need it to make me another month until i get my truck back.

Re: oil leak

Try running it parked at somwhere around 1500 to 2000 rpm, see if you can tell where it's coming from.
