Engine oil leaks

96 900SET, 100k: Found two new (to me) engine oil leak this weekend, while trying to trace my power steering lines and coolant leaks.
1# On the side of what I assume is the lower part of the timing chain cover, next to and to the front of the crank pulley. Roughly below water pump. Not from the valve cover, and the seam at the head gasket looks reasonably clean on that side. Water pump pulley seems fairly solid. Nothing visible looking down from the belt, can't see any more w/o taking off power steering pump and/or water pump.
#2 On a subframe member on the driver side and to the front of the engine, and dripping down to the inside of the splash shield. Transmission looks dirty but no obvious signs of new oil there.
Second one especially is a mystery - I had the front bumper and splash shield off at the time to trace the ps lines and look at other problem areas, and this is not oil coming from the hydraulic lines. Not seepage from the IC hoses either, and the bottom of the oil cooler and radiator are dry as seen from in front and below where the bumper would be.
About 1000 miles on new oil, no noticable oil loss since then, only small oil spots under the car. Any suggestions on where else to look?
