oil on top of motor
I get a little pool of oil on top of the motor. It leaks down the back of the motor and on to the exhaust pipes. I can't figure out were the oil is coming from. It looks like its coming from the bottom of the intake manifold but I don't think oil is supposed to be in there. Any suggestions. I was going to ignore it because it never reaches the ground but the smoking is embarrassing.

It's possible it's leaking from around the IRIS valve which is attached to the bottom of the intake manifold.
The oil is likely coming through the PCV valve which is located right behind the IRIS valve.

If its Red...
It's probably P/S fluid. I thought my 'O-ring' was bad in the pump, so I replaced it and cleaned up...still happened.
Found out its the High Pressure P/S hose. The connector where it goes metal to rubber. Had to order one and the 3 lower hoses (to be sure).

Check your P/S fluid level!
