where in NJ are ya?
most common leaks are the oil pressure sensor. pass side by the oil filter. 12 bucks for a new one.
the valve covers gaskets, about 50 or so with new grommets for the bolts, comes as a kit, felpros works well.
or the oil pan gasket, or the rear seal on the engine. both of these suck to fix.
as always, its best to de grease the whole engine, top bottom and sides of the block, do as much of the tranny as you can too. ( if you have the stock air box on still, you can literally hose the whole engine, with no worries) then watch the leak, getting under it to find a trail of oil every other day, or less depending on how long it takes for it to hit the ground again.
if you can get under there and spray the engine block and pan with brake cleaner and wipe it with a rag, it will take all the shine off the block, fresh oil leaks are easy to find when the block is real clean, this can rule out valve cover leaks, or confirm them. if the block stays dry, and the pan is wet its the pan. wet on the d/s bottom its a rear seal.

My photobucket pictures the one picture is the supercharger oil after O changed it and then the others are where the leaking it you can clearly see where its coming from because there are droplets on the bolts and then I also pictured that is leaking on the transmission pan I have to pull the pan and filter anyway but I am just really hoping this is not goingto be expensive because she only has 80,000 and you know thats nothing for the 3.8

It worked. Is it leaking bad or just seeping there?

It's a very slow leak like when I start it up and let it run for a little amount of time I get a few drops I just want to correct it before it turns into something major I will post the rest of the pics

It's probably your valve cover gaskets leaking.

The supercharger oil was black, I doubt it has ever been changed

How much do you think they will run me at a shop?

Probably about $200. It's pretty easy to do yourself though.
