I just noticed oil spots in the driveway where my car normally parks. What should I check for that may be leaking? Seals, etc? It doesn't seem to be much, but it is concerning me a little bit.
BTW, I have the 2.2 with 115,000 miles on it....
Us telling you where to check wont help you much. You need to find the leak yourself, could be anything, oil filter not on tight, rear main oil seal, oil pressure sending unit, valve cover. This is more of a you find the leak and we tell you how to replace the leaking part.

Also oil pan gasket, and maybe even the drain plug isnt sealing well.

I haven't had the time to check it out yet, I was just trying to get an idea of what to look for when I do.
oil pan, oil filter, drain plug. If it were anything else, youd see it when you have the hood open Id imagine.

I recently had my rear main seal replaced at ~170K miles. Oil residue at/near engine/tranny seam. Oil pan gasket gets replaced when doing the job, or have it done, so two birds with one stone on that one. Valve cover gasket is a do-it-yourselfer on any level, if that's the culprit.
Thanks for the ideas. I should have time this weekend or the beginning of next week to find the leak.
Take some easy-off oven cleaner and a powerwasher to your engine... then wait to see where the oil comes from
