Just wanted some input on my problem

My car (83 GS) is leaking oil from the area around the left side of the oil pan and the rearmost oil cooler line.

This is my first car so I'm still learning.
HELP!

pics would be awesome, and please be specific as to which "left side"...in other words which way are you looking at it from? it could be a number of things, but for now i'm gonna guess oil pan gasket, and the oil line leak could be the little crush washer that goes on the bolt to keep the oil from leaking out when you have FMOC, these are just guesses until we get pics or a bit more detailed description

If you're talking driver's side rear, it could be the pan gasket, the oil line, the pressure sensor, or the filter pedestal, working from the bottom up. Oil can travel quite a ways before it finally drips off.

It may be the beehive and draining down the side of the engine.
Mine did.

Yes I am talking drivers side rear
I just installed a filter pedestal gauge adapter but it doest seem to be coming from there. The pressure sensor is a definite possibilty.

I won't be able to look at the car until tommorow but I will post pics tommorow as soon as I can.

Thanks!

Has the FMOC.

Check the fmoc oil line going to the rear iron. I've seen them rub a pinhole leak in the line where it passes through the tie down near the lower control arm.

... And the cause was...?

(I'm betting oil filter was loose)
