Welcome to the forum,The best way is to clean the motor first, then check your oil filter to see if it's coming from there,oil leaks are hard to find when coming from up top of the motor,check the valve cover gasket and around the timing cover. How much oil and is it blowing back and onto you trunk area?

Default Oil leak

I had a semi major leak in my '94 Delsol. Oil dripping on my exaust etc. Turned out to be the valve cover gasket.

That's common,in some cases you can retorque the bolts to spec. and not need a new gasket.
