StuDaBear Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Could be all manner of things leaking, if you have a jack and axle stands you might need to safely support the vehicle up on stands and get under with a torch and have a look.

StuDaBear Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Sump gasket. Sump, front crank seal, rear crank seal, dipstick seal, cam cover, distributor oil seal, camshaft oil seal are all possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
