Usual leaks would be the front main and the rear main. What you can do also to diagnose the location of the leaks is put cardboard under the car and see where is leaking.

Holy **** is this thread for real?
You can jack it up and put jack stands on the pinch welds.
I'm so confused by this thread.
USE JACK STANDS. 4 Would be best.. like the picture above. If you don't use 4, set the ebrake, and chalk the wheels.
The cardboard method doesn't always work if it is leaking down from the top, could end up on the other side of the bay.

Srs dude be careful... I don't know if you're trolling or not, matter of fact I would feel better if you were. You can put jackstands on the rail markings (rear and front).

Look in the owners manual to find the best points to jack up your car. Also, don't do it alone, you should find a buddy who knows wtf he/she is doing and get their input. It's also convenient because that way you'll have somebody right there to call 911 when the car falls on you. Miata frame rails have been known to crumple, fyi.
A jack stand should look something like this:

Thanks, I've been looking for something like this.
