Car leaks only when parked uphill?
So whenever i park uphill, theres always a small oil stain when i leave. Never there when I park on flat level. Any ideas?

are you sure its oil? it could be a loose oil pan bolt on the rear side, why don't you jack up the car from the front and see if it leaks again, or where it leaks from.

yeah if it only leaks when parked facing uphill check for any cracks in the back of your oil pan you might have caught a rock or something

Or just look under the car and find the leak.

That would leak most of the time too. Guessing and throwing parts at something doesn't fix it. He just needs to look for the leak.
