Engine leaks oil ONLY when car is Jacked up in front.

My Engine (f22 b1) only leaks engine oil when the car is jacked up in the front.

Meaning the front of the car is pointed up towards the sky

I cant seem to trace it. Its not the oil pan. It not the Oil pressure sending unit.

Any ideas?

Maybe the service hole for locking the rear balancer shaft in place during belt changes? Mine did not have a sealing washer installed.

As you are looking at the engine from the driver's side wheel well, the bolt is on the back of the engine block a few inches in.

But are you sure it is not the pan? Mine is pretty rusty next to the exhaust.
