That side of the engine has MANY possibilities...

Oil Filter not tight
Oil Lines to Oil Cooler leaking
Banjo bolt for oil line at rear of block not tight/ broken

In FRONT of the tire... oil Cooler lines
Behind the tire (towards rear of car), oil filter or oil line banjo bolt

If its RED.. its power steering fluid

its probably your oil cooler lines. they tend to crack and break over time.

corksport.com and mazdatrix.com have some stainless steel replacements.

Alrite, thanks alot man, i was thinking is was lines or sumthing related around that. Im in ontario so getting parts off them is gonna be a little expensive, i have an appiontment with Bankstreet Mazda, its a dealership, and my uncles a service manager, so he's gonna hook me up witha tech who i already know and work on it with him...so probably oil cooler lines. Thanks alot man

i have a similar problem. if you look at my block, the oil filler tower and front of the block are pretty well saturated.. no idea where its coming from.. it loses a few drops when im parked.

Your problem is related to the oil filter pedastal O-rings. They sit just under the mount for the oil filter. Two O-rings sitting side by side, a little under an inch in diameter. Two bolts hold the mount to the pedastal. Easy fix. O-rings can be purchased from the dealer.

How difficult is it to replace the lines?
