This site's exposition

If, however, the person is poor

on Leviticus 14:21-32

Twelve verses run the whole rite again for a man who cannot afford it, and no step is dropped. Two lambs become two turtledoves or two young pigeons, but poverty never removes the lamb for the guilt offering.

This site's exposition

on the same places as the blood of the guilt offering

Verse 28 states outright what verse 17 implied, that the oil goes on the very places where the blood was put. John Gill refers the reader back to verse 17. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown note that the poor man's blood and oil were applied in the same process.

if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb--a kind and considerate provision for an extension of the privilege to lepers of the poorer class. The blood of their smaller offering was to be applied in the same process of purification and they were as publicly and completely cleansed as those who brought a costlier offering (Ac 10:34).
