Yeah, there are a number of cheap leaks, pan gasket, valve cover gasket, dipstick pipe, oil filter, oil pressure sensor, or anything else like that. You might use a little heavier oil, but it would be better to find out if it's a cheap leak first.
Make sure the pcv valve isn't plugged and causing excess pressure in the pan.

Last but not least, Google it. It's amazing what you can find.
