I would clean everything up, drive it a few days a see what it looks like then. You may be able to pinpoint it better that way.

Front cover would be my guess. All the **** is running off the front of the motor and getting blown toward the back of the car.

Might not be a crank seal, might be the gasket around the outside edge or where it seals to the oil pan.

Sounds like a good excuse for a camswap to me!!


Mine used to look exactly like that. It never really dripped on the ground or anything. I had alot of oil coming out of the front cover on the sides. I could see where it started at.
