common oil leaks on these engines is intake gasket,valve covers,front timing cover gasket and seals. of course rear main oil seal and possibly oil pan gasket.

^^^ this.
Don't need to start with a swap or rebuild. Clean the engine, rear of intake manifold is a primary suspect, as stated above. Valve cover gaskets are easy to replace, don't stretch the gaskets at all they don't like to recover. Use Fel-Pro gaskets or equivalent. Also the oil filter adapter o-ring can leak.
Clean the engine with brake clean or have some one do it for you.
