Oil LEak?

I have an oil leak...

While its running... u can smell it and at nite u can see smoke stiring around the headlights.

But if it sits overnight there are only about 3 or 4 drops.

But if u look under the car u can see oil from the front back..

Someone put in a water pump i think and it looks like a crapy job. I cant pin it down where its coming from. I dont think it a rear seal

Could it be comung from the timing chain cover?

Re: Oil LEak?

You can see it around the headlights? If that's oil, you have a serious problem. Try wiping the engine down, and then running it for a few seconds to locate the leak. I would say spray it with degreaser but then your opti might take a dump
