check the oil drain screw, the seal around them can go bad.

Well, you could always LOOK under the car and find out where the oil leak is coming from.

It's probably the gasket around the oil pan, which I have a leak coming from, along with just about every other FD owner; but, it could be any number of things. You need to figure out where it's coming from.

If your in Baton Rouge, send me a PM and I can come look this weekend.

which one did you get from lance and did you get his warranty its a good deal if you didnt call him back and buy it from him he will usually do it for you. I bought my car from him and almost didnt get the warranty but Im so glad I did or my car would still not be running right now.

Too many variables to play arm chair mechanic. You need to lift the car and check underneath for the leak(s). Hopefully it's just a loose oil pan nut or its gasket. You might want to check the oil lines connected to the turbos. REGARDLESS, keep an eye on the oil level! Good Luck.
