(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  oil leak? front of engine? just noticed a drop on the ground after about an hour. jacked the car up and the oil filter, filter housing (bottom and top) and the coolant pipe that runs across the engine had dirt and oil on them. i wiped everything down and am gonna try looking for the source. any ideas? oil filter housing? or the gasket? motor has never been apart, biggest maintenance items so far were egr and a coolant expansion tank replacement edit: i searched and found plenty of threads with leaky oil coolers on gen won cars. however IIRC they had a different oil filter housing? not the spin on style gen 2?

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Update. Took a look under the car and it was clearly the oil cooler gasket leaking. Looks like a slow leak for at least a year. Pulled the belly pan off, got the filter block and sensor off, the gasket was clearly flattened and torn. Cleaned it up real good and put it back together with 8 bucks in gaskets and it’s dry and clean. Glad I could save a few hundred bucks and do it myself.
