I have oil leaking on my car and its getting onto my exhaust manifold and burning. Its also getting onto the oil pan, all over it. I thought it was the oil pan gasket, so I replaced the oil pan gasket with a fel pro gasket and torqued it to spec in 3 increments.


My dad said, "check the camshaft seals behind the gears." I checked them and they were fine. It's hard to pin point the leak without actually looking behind the crank.

Honestly I am avoiding the work because I don't want it to be the front main seal because then I would have to remove the oil pump which mean I would have to remove the oil pan again. Double work sucks. But oil leaks are worse.

Can someone tell me the possible oil leak locations I could be experiencing on the crank side?

Thank you everyone for taking your time reading my situation and offering your knowledge.

Cam seals (2), front main seal, head gasket.

You can replace the front main seal without removing the oil pan.

Also check the oil cooler/ o ring. Behind the oil cooler the o ring can leak oil. Your oil pump seal can also leak and that can easily be replaced by removing the cam pulley and covers.
