So the car has had multiple leaks now, one being the valve cover gasket which i replaced and was hoping at the time it was the only leak, well after replacing that i could see another one(they are both leaking in the same area so thought the oil from the valve cover just leaked down to where the other leak is) and this leak is pretty much dumping oil, before i could drive here and there(not my daily) and wouldnt lose to much oil, now a 30min+ or - will drain the oil. most of the oil is pooled on the front right side of the motor. looks to be above the oil pan, mainly just looking for people that have had similar issues that can give insight on where there leak was so i can check common areas. i will be putting it on a lift tomorrow since i have off to have a better look.

 

Cam seals, and crank seal would be my first looks.

Take off the timing belt covers. If there's nothing coming from the cam seals (looks dry above where the block meets the head), it's the crank seal.

 

Step one: Check all your seals for leaks.

 

oil filter adapter.

 

Also "front right" - is that passenger side or driver side, unsure of where you were standing/sitting

 

checked the cam seals when i did the valve cover gasket. ill check the crank seal tomorrow


looking at the motor from the front of the car.

 

update: so fixed my oil leak today, used some dye, found it went smooth. only left left is dropping my trans and replacing seals in it and i should be good to go.

 

You’re leaving us in suspense. What was it?

 

a bolt on the oil pan was lose, found it within seconds with the dye. input shaft seal on the trans is leaking, so going to pull the trans and replace all the seals on the transmission.
