Exclamation Oil leaking

Hey guys, there is oil leaking underneath my car, and it drips from the oil pan and all around it. The drain plug is not loose so it isn't from that. The leak started out if no where the other day. I drive it nice and gentle anymore, anyways.

I HAVE had my intake manifold gasket swapped because it leaked from behind earlier this year in july. I'm PRAYING that it's not the same problem, but I have no idea where the.leak is coming from.

Any thoughts? Oil pressure sensor possibly?

Thanks.

Re: Oil leaking

There's alot of possibilities. could be... Intake manifold (RTV seal), valve cover gaskets, Front cover, Waterpump orings, Opti spark oring, Front crank seal, oil LEVEL sensor, or oil pan gasket. Try cleaning off the whole engine, running it, and see if you can get an exact idea on where its coming from.

If the intake manifold is leaking again, go too an International dealer ship and get their gray RTV for sealing the front cover too the block where the oil pan gasket rests(On an international) . Its really good stuff!
