[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 13017339, member: 10912"] Ok, thanks for the info. :beer: Haha. :rockon: UPDATE: I climbed under the car earlier. From the air pushing the oil everywhere, it was impossible to determine the source. So I cleaned it up with some brake cleaner. Then ran the car and was under it for a few minutes. No noticeable leak while I was under there. Not surprising though, unless it is a horrible leak, not going to find anything in only a few minutes. It's been sitting, level, for the past hour or so. I just checked, there is one small drop under the car. Right under the right steering rack bolt (not sure if that is the correct term). Of course, it could have fallen in a different spot and made it's way down a piece of tubing or something and then landed where it did on the ground. I'm starting to think it's leaking from the area around the oil filter housing. Seemed to be heavier up in that area. [B](UPDATE: See post below, it does appear to be the oil filter housing)[/B] I'm going to climb under it in a few minutes and see if I can see anything else. Also, when I had the car running and sprayed brake cleaner on some stuff, I noticed it bubbling around this one bolt...right below the oil filter. Not sure if... [LIST] [*]The heat was just causing it to bubble and dry up [*]It has a small leak and perhaps this is where oil is getting out [*]It has a small leak, but it's not enough where oil would leak out of it [/LIST] Here is a quick video to show you what I mean. [youtube_browser]tGhBYpfT7_Q[/youtube_browser] Some pics...doubt they'll help as it just looks like a big mess down there. It was pretty heavy in this area... [ATTACH=full]457391[/ATTACH] And here is the bolt (right arrow) that is in the video. As you can see, the oil is heavy around it. Although, it could just be a spot where it collects as it fall from above/blown from somewhere else. [B](UPDATE: See post below)[/B] Also, notice the heavy amount on the bolt on the oil pan (left arrow). [ATTACH=full]457392[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
