Got a new oil leak to fix. The oil on the drive way indicates it's off the back half of the motor. I fixed a leak under the oil filter so thats not it.



Any ideas where else to look for the leak?

check the oil pan and oil cooler line going to the rear housing.. also check near the eshaft pulley and OMP.. even though the oil is dripping from the back of the engine that doesn't mean that the leak couldn't be toward the front. I think its the easiest to find leaks if you pressure wash the engine and then drive it hard once clean, then put it up and check everything right away.

I also have a few leaks, but oddly enough they only pop up when I park on an incline. They're in the back of the engine, so its probably my oil pan. If your problem is anything like mine, its probably your oil pan gasket. If its a slow leak its not worth the effort IMO. But just be sure to keep an eye on that oil .
