Post Oil leak at Oil tank

Anybody else have an oil leak below your oil tank? I tightened my drain plug yet still have a few drops coming from it. Any ideas.

Jeremy,

I had a mysterious oil leak on my 90 C2 which we traced to the filler cap. While having new lowering springs installed the front of the car was jacked up and the oil was leaking out of the top of the filler neck. We replaced the cap after noticing that the gasket was going bad inside the cap. I don't know if this will help you, but it might be worth looking into.

Jeremy;

Check your oil lines connections going into the tank. Your going to have to remove your rear tire to get a good look.

Hello

Have also a peak behind the oiltank where the big pressureline from the oilfilterhousing will go into the thermostat.
Also all those rubber lines from the thermostat to the tank and to the drain plug console.
