I just notice a small pool of oil under the rear right jacking point today. Last drove the car Tuesday. Last oil change was November. I checked the wheel well and found no oil leaking around the drain plug, filter, or the visible oil lines. I started up the car until warm and got a couple drops to leak but I can only see it as far as the tub nearest the jacking point and could trace it no further.

Appreciate any suggestions.

 

Would be inclined to think a fitting is weeping or the filter maybe. Haven't heard of any issues with the oillines themselves. First thing I'd probably do is look at where the filter attaches.

 

Filter's good, thanks.

Looks like there are oil lines that run through the upper part of the wheel well. Guess I'll pull some more plastic back and check those out.

 

I'm suspecting a leak from the oil filling hose that runs from the engine bay to the oil tank. I disconnected the ends but it doesn't pull out easily. I don't want to tear it, especially if it's not the culprit

Any ideas?

BTW, checked filter, thermostat, drain plug and fittings to the oil tank...no leaks.

 

Also check under the Air filter for a power steering fluid leak.
Power steering fluid can drain to this area.
