Leak after leaving car for a few weeks

Hi.

I left my firebird 3.1 v6 for 2 weeks and then moved it from one parking space to the next.
I then noticed a day later that there was a small oil leak. I then placed some card underneath and the next day I find a water leak and no oil.
Looking at the dip stick the oil is low but only slightly. I expected it to be low.
Also the water in the tank looks fine.
I turned the engine over briefly and the next day there is a small Patch of oil at the rear of the card and water at the front.
Checked the dipstick and no white, the oil looks clean.

I noticed the water was a little bit oily. I am thinking that perhaps its my air con unit leaking. (which hasnt worked for a while, and I noticed I left the switch in the on position)
Perhaps the leak has leaked round the front and rear of the engine (the rear side is a bit oily so picking up some block oil on route to the floor, where as the front is pretty clear)

Am I thinking that this could be a possibility?

Does anyone have any ideas what I can check please?
