To make a long story short, i drove to work in the morning and when i got home, what i found was a trail of oil starting from my garage, and going down my driveway all the way into my street.
so obviously when i left for work this morning, it was spitting out oil out of somewhere. weird thing is, it isnt anymore. and my oil level isnt significantly low. im ******* confused as to where it came from. where the red circle is, that is where my front driver side wheel was when the car was parked. so the puddle is pretty much underneath my oil pan. but ive never had a leak problem or anything until this morning. Any ideas on what this could be?

 

Ummm did you look underneath your car to see if there was any residue? Check all your fluids as well? Tranny, PS, oil, brakes etc

 

ive always had a little oil leaking from my oil pan gasket since i bought the car, but other than that i dont see much. i havent checked my trans fluid, but i checked everything else.
its all full. i mean, it definitely looks like oil to me

 

i also took of the filter to make sure there was no double gasket situation

 

above the blue sandwich plate or oil cooler looks clean. so perhaps it is from the sandwich plate/oil cooler itself? cuz it looks like above the oil filter is clean with no oil.

 

i'd say ps fluid but does it smell like oil or just plain foul ? as ps fluid smells like **** and tranny smells like rotten eggs. check levels of both. but check your tie rod boots I had a similar issue

 

im convinced its coming from this oil cooler. but my only concern is that its an aftermarket oil cooler. it isnt setup the same as the stock one. i know the stock one has an o ring behind it that usually goes bad, but i really am not sure how these things work, or what i would have to do to put it back to the stock cooling system
