I was pulling up to my parking spot in the street in front of my house and I noticed a few oil stains on the asphalt. At first, I thought it was someone elses car, but I looked under my car and noticed a drip. DOH!
From the amount of little puddles, I can see that this has been happening for about a week. I was about a quart low on oil, so it's not like it's gushing out, but still not good. Probably a drip every 10 seconds or so when the engine is running. (I don't have a belly pan at the moment.)
I got under the car and wiped everything clean and then started the car and observed. The drip is coming from the front of the oil pan on the passenger side. It might not be the oil pan since it almost looks like the drip comes from above the oil pan on that side.
I took the engine cover off and looked at the valve cover and it's not leaking from there. Where do you think it's coming from? Got any ideas or recommendations?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
