Everytime i pop my hood there is oil on the chassis where the headlight brackets attaches to. It's located on the driveside. Where the hell can this oil be coming from? It's above the two grey tabs on the headlight. anyone else have this problem?this is not my car, just using it as a example.

 

u have Power steering? might be PS fluid

 

It's your blinker fluid leaking from the flasher relay.
No, it sounds like either power steering or your valve cover leaking.

 

was gunna sya might be oil from the front right of the valve cover shooting out or something, but there is no oil anywhere else?

 

sounds like it might be power steering fluid.

 

I had that same problem once... odly enough right after an oil change... pop the hood and it looked like an oil-bomb went off...... due to a lack of oil cap

if it's actually oil and not ps fluid, check your lower timing belt cover. may be a front main seal. It could also be oil from the AC...

 

car has no power steering. i was thinking maybe a/c also but it even did this when i didn't have the compressor on. I looked around everywhere and everything is dry. Here's a picture of the leak. You would think oil ran down the ground wire, but wire is dry. no leaks around valve cover area. Hood is dry. where the hell is this coming from?

 

i have that same problem too, i would like to know where its coming from. i got no a/c no p/s and no leak on the valve cover

 

It could be coming from the seal around the crank that seals it around the end where the timing belt is. The oil is leakin out and being carried up by the timing belt and then being flung on your right side. Thats the only thing I can think of

uhhhh yeaaaaaa about that...

 

do you have the stock engine mount on the driver side cuz mine blew and stated to leak out all the fluid that might be it

 

Is there anything slung up on the bottomn of the hood? Also are there any holes on the bottom of the hood, because ive seen some toyotas that have had some greasy crap seaping out holes in the hood and usually it ends up in that same area, and I have no idea what it is.

 

timing belt is try, im running a CF hood and there is no goo anywhere. i am running stock motor mount but that is dry also. WTF?!?

 

take a picture man, a picture is worht 1000 posts

 

Sounds like crank seal to me. Can you see oil under the crank pulley? I gad this happen to me, after 2 hours it was solved with a new seal.
