Big oil Leak. front of the motor.
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 :D
