The only way to know for sure is to remove the belly pan and see exactly where it's dripping from. It's probably best to clean the engine too and then check everywhere with a flashlight.

Could also be some oil left in the pan or around the engine. Unless you wiped averything off after you did the gaskets.

what gaskets did you change??

my 2.8 used to leak oil from around the valve-cover (it wasnt enough to leave any drops but it would just burn off) I changed the valve-cover gaskets a few months ago and it helped alot but it still leaks a bit from behind the left side...im guessin its the cam seals on mine and maybe thats what's going on with urs too....
