Default Help with a bad oil leak!

My dad has a 2002 V70 xc AWD with a terrible oil leak, the car just came back from getting the camshaft seals and timing belt replaced. before the cam shaft seals where replaced the car would blow all its oil out within 20min, the leaks not as bad now but still a considerable amount . My dad wants to scrap the car as it has 350k miles but I wanted to know if anyone has any idea where the leak is most likely coming from, I think it would be a fun winter beater for me IF its worth saving. I'm not sure if it worth it to put $1000 into a car with 350k miles.... I was told if I pay to fix it i can have the car.

You won’t get very helpful feedback unless you can provide more info.
1) when car is parked where is the drip?
2) with plastic top covers off are there signs of oil anywhere near gears in behind engine near turbo, at front
3) are there any signs of oil ANyWHERE in and around top half of engine.
