First check the power steering hoses. Also see if the transmission fluid is the same color as what you got on the ground. It's so it could be your transmission cooler lines that go to the radiator.and check your rack and pinion too.

2001 sebring 2.7 6 cyl is leaking motor oil on ground looks like about where Transmission and engine meet.

If it's reddish then likely it's transmission fluid and if brown or black then engine oil. There are seal conditioners available that may help temporarily. You can try one but if the leak is not much and you can live with it; I would put a catch pan under the car at night and see what accumulates. If only a few drops a night or less then just check and add as needed. If there is a puddle, then check color, reddish - time to see the transmission guy. Black or Brown oil may be the engine is leaking oil. Reddish can also be a leaking power steering line so check power steering fluid level too.

There is a major leak in my 92 es300 lexus where would be the best place to start looking

Just have it lifted above at a garage so one can see where the leak or leaks are coming from.

Green= antifreeze
Blackish Brown= engine oil

What kind of color is the leak?

One can also have a large sheet of cardboard under it after running it to see where the spots are.

Not the oil pump, the most likely cause is the intake and exhaust valve seals, this accounts for the smoke on start up
