Oil, Oil everywhere
I was cooling my car down after a test drive in the driveway and when I pulled it in there was a huge oil spot on the cement. Oil leaks are nothing new to this car but I have never seen it drop so much oil.
I think the oil pan is leaking on the passenger side but the leak on the drivers side is different. I took some pictures of where the oil is leaking. I am on my back under the drivers wheel in the pictures. It only seems to seep when the engine is running.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it

Thanks for the suggestion.
It doesn't look wet anywhere above the block. It really looked like it was seeping from where the two pieces come together. Sorry the pics are so shitty my camera blows.
It kind of looks like the gasket came out. Any more ideas?

My eyes aren't working well since I'm sick, but that looks like the front cover:

Thanks Mahjik, very helpful as usual. That looks to be the problem. Damn the front cover gasket and the oil pan gasket are both shot.
Stock Mazda Reman=worthless piece of ****. I just finished my poor mans non-seq and I haven't even been able to turn up the boost. I noticed the oil coming out after the first test drive It seems like for every fix there is a problem that follows. Ah, gotta love the FD

I had the front cover leak on my last motor. It just keeps getting worse. The garage wanted $1,200 in labor to fix it. They basically said that they had to remove the engine to fix it.
