Here's a VERY simple solution for you guys who are leaking oil but not really sure where it's coming from...

Handyman solution....

Go to a parts store, pick up an oil leak detection kit. This kit will include a small bottle of special dye that you will pour into your oil. After driving the car for a day or three, lift it up and look underneath using a special light (commonly a black light) and special colored glasses. This will cause the dye to glow like made and you'll be able to easily track it to the source of the leak.


Not-so-handyman solution...

Take it to a shop and ask them to put dye in the oil, schedule an appointment for a couple days after it's put in, have them tell you where it's coming from.
