I have an
oil leak while the engine is NOT running. I filled up with 6 quarts yesterday, then ran the car for 10 minutes to check for leaks, none (yet). I then checked level and remarked the dipstick to mark the proper FULL line on the dipstick. Still no leak evident, but I didn't watch very closely. This morning while I walked past the car I noticed
oil coming from underneath. It looks like about a quart leaked out, but I still didn't see any drips. This is the first time that the
oil has been filled to the proper "factory" level (don't ask why, long story).
Does the oil come up to either the front or rear "U" on the oil pan? I suspect that spot because of the amount of oil, and I have not been able to find any oil leaking from either valve cover. I will have the car up tonight to get a closer look, but I am hoping for some ideas to look at as a starting point.
Thanks,
Bran
P.S. stock front sump pan, will be relplaced soon, but I need the car this weekend for stress relief.
