If it's the x or z12xe(p) engine then there are numerical common areas for the oil to leak from.
Oil pressure switch as mentioned,
Rocket cover gasket, leaks down into the plug holes hence you maybe not seeing it,
Oil Filter Housing - where it meets the block,
Sump gasket,
Timing chain gasket,
Also, these engines do burn a little oil (non-optional extra), not always enough to leave a blue cloud behind you, but if your exhaust tail pipe is covered in excessive black soot then that's a fair sign.
Is the engine rattly?

Her talents must be in other areas, I'd be willing to test them out on behalf of rms.
One step too far as usual!

Get on gumtree and just buy another cheap motor. Something properly Japanese, non european etc ( ie not a french pretend Toyota )
For a few hundred quid you're bound to get something reliable and long term it's bound to save a fortune. That car of yours seems to have been plenty of trouble.
Toyota Yaris, Hyundai or something

Just to be pedantic, Hyundai is not Japanese, it's Korean lol!
But I get the point, it's "Asian" and models from 2000 on are very reliable!

Hence I did say "etc" and "non european" also. I know they aren't Japanese, but then so are some modern Toyotas
Hyundai's are pretty decent cars if you can get over the name and sometimes appearance.

Yea I know, like I say just being pedantic.
You are 100% correct, Hyundai's get a bad run for no reason, well maybe based slightly on earlier models, but like most modern car manufacturers (except The French) they have released a lot of really good cars.
