Oil leaking... please help. What's up yall. So I sold my GXP and then just recently bought another one at an auction. There is leak that looks to be coming from the top of the block just below the intake manifold. I did some quick searching and found that it could be the power steering hose that used to have a recall. After getting the car home I've noticed a couple of things.
cylinder 7 miss fire (changed the plug so no more problem there)
Driver side strut mount was Broken
fan 1 relay bad
Power steering reservoir was wet like someone filled it
and a decent drip of "fluid" from the driver side below the intake manifold.
I can not find proof of power steering fluid leaking and the level is not getting low. Looks like the oil level is slowly droping though. Could this be a cracked head or head gasket? I don't have and coolant mixing with the oil.
I'm just trying to get an idea before I go in and pull everything out.
thanks,
Tarrell

Thanks Wesfree. I'll get on it. Did you buy new gaskets?
