Hey guys I have had this problem for quiet a bit of time now but it's getting annoying. ok so this is how it goes when I go for a ride long or short and I park the car it drops a little bit of oil near the starter of the car and gets all over the transmission and bellhousing. Also when I am going about 50mph and make a hard left sometimes I can see smoke in my rear view mirror.

When the front end of the car is up it leaks but I can't see where its coming from but when the back end of the car is up it don't leak. I already changed the rear main seal,oil pan gasket,front end seal and still can't get it to stop. Can anyone help me out with this? What other gasket or seal am I missing

You say it is leaking near the starter.
I would look at your crank position sensor. Might be leaking there due to a faulty o ring. Sensor is located just above the starter.

Could it not be the oil sending unit leaking from the top down?

blackodium

the oil sending unit is on the side with the starter. and no its not it.

blackodium

It is located right above the starter. Center line of the crank.

I have not checked either one are they both easy to get to? Would I have to take off the starter to look at them or can I do from the top of the engine bay?

Oil Galley plug. Goes behind the pilot bearing. Seals oil from getting out around your crank.

See third post of this thread I just bumped cause so many people are having this issue:

Cool thanks for the help but I dont think its my problem because I dont get oil inside my bellhousing just on the sides of the transmission.

You say you've been chasing this leak and can't find it? I would again sugest checking your rear oil galley plug as your leak and problem is an exact description of mine.

blackodium

i was able to take the starter off and there is no evidence of an oil leak

blackodium

bump...

blackodium
