2.7l gaskets?

I noticed I have a bit of an oil leak. I'm wondering which gaskets are on the motor that are replaceable? The motor has 296k in it also, any other maintenance recommended?

Surprisingly, the big oil leak on my 98 2.7 was the oil pan. If you look at the pan, the bottom "sump" area is welded on to the upper part of the pan. It was rotting away and leaking from there. The other leak that I found was around the oil filter adapter area. The valve cover was also wet on mine.

The good news (at least for me) was that the rear main seal was in excellent shape.

I pulled the engine at 216K due to a headgasket leak into the #1 cylinder and performed a full rebuild. But it didn't really need it, but I figured if I was going that far, I'd do it right.

I replaced a gasket behind the little block that the oil filter mounts to.

I'm not trying to sound flippant, but ALL of the gaskets are replaceable.

understandable, it was in the middle of the night when i posted and i worded it weird. i meant which specific ones are related to oil leaks? and any suggestions for brands or where to buy? i see prices ranging from 50 to 315 for a head gaskets.
