The X leaves a puddle of motor oil after every drive, under the right end of the motor.. This tends to be whatever oil was flowing on the pan when it was running as the car does not appear to leak oil just from sitting.
It's not running down the front side of the motor so it's not from a leaking sensor or oil filter. The oil pan bolt heads on the right end of the block are very wet with oil as is the pan rim. I am trying to eliminate the crank seal as the source. It is a new seal, the timing belt is not wet nor is there a spray of oil on the underside of the engine cover or firewall which you usually see with the crank timing belt sprocket slinging oil from a bad seal. I think this can only mean a leaking oil pan seal, also replaced when I rebuilt the motor. But would like to see what you guys think.
