oil leak....i think its the oil pan(pics)
Hello. Ive been noticing some oil residue on the subframe right at the oil pan. It has not been even enough to drip until this morning i find 3 little oil spots on the driveway. I jacked it up and crawled under for a look. Everything looks dry and clean except the back side of the oil pan.
I remeber reading that FDs oil pans seem to do this, but this i mazda reman with 2000 miles on it? should it be doing this?

so are we ruling out the oil pan here?
thats always the number 1 culprit.
but if its the turbos its probable that its leaking from either one of the return lines (there are 2 remember) and it could be leaking from where the lines bolt 2 the turbos (not where its bolted to the block)
if its not either oil return it could be the feed line or the turbo seals themselves. but i have my doubts on the latter of those 2.

by taking a second look @ your picks i would definelty say its the pan...
do u see the collection of oil in the bolt for the motor mount?
that oil can only collect from one place.
the motor mount bolts should be given a slab of silicone before installing them do to the fact that oil can leak out of the pan there also
