She was doing so well, then developed a fairly steady leak, few drops a day onto the tray, so topping up monthly.
otherwise, doesn't miss a beat, no smoke, burning, no mpg change.
engine up top is bone dry, as is driver side, seems to be coming from the passenger side, mid-way, so possibly the oil filter housing gasket area, (filter housing clean on top and rubber seal fitted correctly)
couldn't really see too well from up top or underneath as it's obscured.
cleaned it off but haven't had a chance to inspect again.
Any top 5 best guesses as to the likely rubber (hopefully) culprit?
1: Oil Filter Housing Gasket (possible DIY fix)
2: Rocker Cover Gasket (not sure if that leaks down around back)
3: Crankcase Breather Vent Pipe
4: Massive hole in engine block
5: They all leak, live with it.
thanks in advance!
