HELP! My ITR is leaking oil!
I have noticed that my ITR is leaking oil. The car has 67k on it, it can't be time for a new oil pan gasket already? The leak is slow (1/8 qt a week), but fast enough to concern me. No oil leak is minor. My question is....can the leak be coming from somewhere besides the pan? Any suggestions out there from other ITR owners?

my exhaust cam seal died a few miles back (about 64,000).
you can see the oil running down the front of the block behind the p/s pump.

Sorry I'm not too much help, but what I would do is clean up all the oil under car and watch to see where it drips.
Stupid question but did you check to see if your oil filter is on all the way? My friends car just did that and he left a mess in my driveway.
How fast is it leaking out, how often do you have to put oil in it?

I checked again. It looks like its coming either out of the oil pan in the front, or, out of the block by the AC mount...is this possible??? There is also a slow leak coming from the exhaust manifold gasket but not heavy.

Exhaust manifold gasket doesnt leak oil. Check your cam seals and valve cover gasket.

I had to clean up mess up around behind the bracket.

Headgasket.
Trace the oil from the top down, clean up everything with some engine degreaser and drive then inspect. I'm sure you'll find the source of the leak. Could be multiple area as well.
