hey guys need some help spotting where the oil could be coming from, it recently started leaking small amounts of oil and would like some opinions on where you guys think the oil is leaking from.

i cant get under my car to check good, but i took some pictures and circled in red where i saw some oil


on the first picture usually that bolt is covered with oil(not excessive oil but just around it, doesnt drip to other spots)

on the second picture ive been getting oil on the circled spot, cant see much of it on the picture because i cleaned it a little but theres some oil built up there, not alot but still would like to figure out where its coming from.

also around under the second picture i found some oil on the floor, it was a tiny spot of oil but i cant tell much where its coming from because i cant get under the car at the moment.


any ideas where the oil could be leaking from? any opinions are appreciated, thanks for the help

 

On the first picture (and I'll have to double check on my car) that looks like the bolt that hold on the oil fill tube. If it is then any one putting oil in the car and missing just a little will have some run down and accumulate on that bolt. I'll know for sure when I get through with my TB install. Actually both places are typical oil spill locations when changing the oil and filter. Jack

 

hrm i changed my oil about 2 months ago and its been clean till about 2-3 weeks ago, the oil appeared recently

 

The bolt (or nut) in the first picture is one of the oil filler neck variety, perhaps it has come loose and oil is starting to leake from under it ? ? ? The other place you found oil may have blown back to that area from the leake running down the motor. Good luck with tracking it down, I say wipe and observe on a more frequent basis to find it. Jack
