HELP, oil leak...Cant find it
Recently had my fd rebuilt and for some reason it has just started leaking oil. I cant tell if its leaking all the time, but you can really tell when the car is parked. Its leaking on the drivers side of the motor towards the back, i thought it was the oil pan, so i had a new gasket installed on it.. That wasnt it, is there any where else it can be leaking ? Why can i only tell its leaking when its turned off ? It dosent look like its blowing oil back onto the tranny or the undercarrage of the car.. Please can someone give me some guidence

You have several possibilities on the drivers side. From the top, your oil filter housing, oil pressure sensor, and the oil cooler banjo bolt/fitting. Best bet it to clean the area thoroughly with carb or brake clean, put a light above the oil filter housing, start the car, and look from underneath.
