Thanks to all for the advice. I spent the better part of this morning cleaning the engine thoroughly and then checking for leaks while the engine was running, to make certain that I hadn't misdiagnosed the cause of the leak.
No leaks at all from the power steering hoses or the steering rack.
Engine oil is slowly weeping out from just in front of the flexplate (on the engine side of the flexplate) on the passenger side of the engine. Looking up at this spot from underneath the car, I spied what appears to be a white piece of plastic -- can anyone identify this part?
I've lost a quart of oil in about 700 miles. I'm torn as to whether to attempt the seal replacement now, or to keep checking/refilling the oil. Thoughts?
Again, thanks for the help.
