Oil leaks - pointers appreciated

My car is up on stands and the tranny is out for a clutch job. I have had these few annoying drips that I want to now try and solve. Anyways, I was considering resealing the oil-pan before I found out the amt. of work involved. So, I'm going to try and take care of this without dropping the oil pan. So here are the places where there is oil:
- Small driplet at the drain plug.
- Base of the rear lower motor mount is oily (this mount is newish... so the oil must have gotten there fairly recently)
- There is a bunch of oil buildup at the electrical harness at the back of the pan (what sensor is this?)
- Most of the bolts at the rear of the oil pan that hold it to the block have little drips. Hope its not the oil pan
- A JB-welded (yeah... from a PO) spot has oil leaking
- The oil filter has a driplet at its base.
- The oil filler tube base is very very oily.
Any ideas which gaskets might need changing or furhter inspection?
Thanks,
Karthik
