IIRC Terry H. reccomends first checking the cam and crank sensors as they can start to leak. For SVT's he also says the oil cooler seal has been known to cause some leaking. From what I've read it's not unheard of to get a leak from the crank to front cover seal too.

If it is the head gaskets it's going to be BIG money (I'd guess at least a couple grand). There are multiple ways the head gasket can leak - oil to water, water to oil, oil to air and you can get one and/or all of them depending on where the leak is.

I shudder to say it, but a shop should be able to diagnose a leak with UV dye ("relatively" cheaply) to avoid the cost of shotgunning parts
