I'm hoping someone can help me here I've developed an oil leak on my car tgat I cannot seem to diagnose. The car will run fine and idle fine with no leaks but when I turn the car odd it will drip untill the oil settles in the pan. I'm havibg a hard time pinpointing the leak and I'm hopibg for some insight.

Pic could help or a general area of the leak

 

Above the starter

 

Is it for sure engine oil or could it be gear oil, they smell differently. If its engine oil it could be the turbo oil lines, rear main seal, valve cover gasket, head gasket or cam sensors depending on how high up it goes. Those could all possibly leak oil in that area but if you don't have coolant in oil or oil in coolant than I wouldn't worry about head gasket.

 

I know its not the head gasket I checked that first.

 

Oil pan, oil return lines, theres a bunch of places. Track it and find how high up the oil goes

 

Going to need more of a description and some pics to help identify.. We are in the dark here. You say starter area. So that's by the turbo. Check the oil feed for the turbo, cam angle sensor area, and the valve cover.
