Oil leaking somewhere !!! Camp Pendelton

I have oil leaking somewhere still i changed the oil pan gasket but im pretty sure one of the bolts is stripped the Oil pan gasket is still leaking a little but from the look of the engine i saw theres alot more then just the oil pan wrong but i just cant figure it out. anyone near oceanside or camp pendleton that could help me look at it and figure out cause i really dont want to go to the dealer and spend big money on something that could be fixed with a little knowledge at home. please feel free to call me at 760 5292885 mike. thanks

is that an easy(well wouldnt say easy) but a fix that could cost less diy type fix ?
i mean i know the oil pan is leaking but not enough to drip. but if you look at the engine there is soo much sludge and wetness(oil) on it and i just cant seem to find what else it could be im on the 2nd engine with 80kmiles.

change#1 Ok i looked at the OMP it is a little wet too and theres wetness on the lines(electrical) around it too im gonna have to life the car up to take a better look but any other advice i really appriciate it alot, just really dont want to go to the stealership to fix it also has anyone ever used heater coils for the oil pan if one of the holes are stripped?
