Oil leak, any suggestions
2 Attachment(s)
I was messing with the car this morning and noticed a small puddle of oil underneath when i moved it. I don't have a lift and can't get the car very far off the ground, so excuse the crappy pics. I can't get far enough away to use the DSLR so these are crappy cell pics. It looks like the oil is coming from behind the crank pulley, being a noob with the platform is this bad? i'm of the opinion that any oil leak is bad, especially on a track car.

From that location I'm guessing front seal.

i just walked back in from trying to find a bit more detail and found both of these fresh oil spots. this engine has 3 sessions on it, roughly 12 hot laps, after being "gone through" and having all the seals replaced, cam etc

There was a smaller puddle of oil under the car as well a few inches to the passenger side and forward of the main puddle that the fresh oil between those two pullies would match up with. |
