Hey guys as title suggests i have a very annoying oil leak, now I have located the area that it is coming from but I don't think it could be in a worse spot it seems to be under the power steering pump but above the spark plugs height right at the front somewhere
There appears to be alot of gasket sealer smeared around in there so I take it it's been under lying for a while and I hadn't picked up on it

My engine was only built 10k ago so it's a bit confusing

D
Has anyone had a leak here before or have a suggestion as to what it may be??
It's in such a tight spot it's hard to see let alone get to

Any help is very greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

 

The only things there that can leak oil is oil level sensor gauge on oil pan, also under A/C there a spot where the oil cooler hardline turns into rubber and maybe it ruptured but highly unlikely because those hoses are thick. Last spot is where oil filler neck meets the block.

 

Could be a cracked front dowel seat.

 

Iv removed alternator and power steering pump it seems to be coming from between the front cover and the plate so I'm guessing it hasn't been sealed properly as there is gasket sealer spread all over the area .
Is the oil level sensor a fairly large wire almost like an earth wire going onto a 10 mil bolt
