Oil leak Starter Side! :bang: so this has been an on going problem and just today was able to get a somewhat decent look at it, it seems to be coming from around the starter area and runs down to where the bell housing meets the motor. i was convinced that it was a Rear Main but that wouldnt put oil on the starter. im fairly lost on this haha, i dont really have much means of getting the car in the air other then ramps :/

This just happened to me. Also thought is was my rear main. Then i Thought it was my crank position sensor which is right behind the starter, changed it, no luck. Its most likely going to be your valve cover gasket or Maybe your oil pressure sensor which is at the very back of the manifold. Mine was my valve cover gasket which I convinced my self that it couldn't be haha. Finally pulled it off and sure enough there was a cut in the gasket at the very back left side of it. Couldn't see it or feel it till I pulled the cover. That's also the easiest and cheapest part to remove. I'd start there.
