lots of oil at the base

i did my best to clean up the engine but i noticed that there seems to be alot of oil on the front section of the block under the engine. the car (92 16v turbo) doesnt seem to really be eating oil at all so i wonder if it was just oil that built up from the original owner who didnt keep the engine clean. it worries me though that it seems to be alot and i would like to know where it is coming from. the guy i bought if from said the dealer replaced a freeze plug and when he did (apparently didnt drain the oil)...oil guzzed all over the place which could explain this.
i had a drip coming from the edge of the valve cover so i have a new gasket on the way.....but now it seems to of stopped dripping. 14 bucks for a set its better to replace it anyways as i see it, it certainly cant hurt.
anywhere i should look on this backwards engine to find oil leaks?
......one more question....where is the thermostat located? i can't seem to find it....and i would like to replace it with a 89c for the cold weather here.
thanks
