hello everyone. So the other day I noticed my car was leaking oil or it seemed to be an oil like substance only like a few drops every 8 hours. I got underneath the car and I noticed on the right side of the engine where the lower serpentine belt is near the oil filter it is all wet as well as the oil filter and A arm. I included some picture so you can see what I was talking about.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

 

You must take the serpentine belt and plastic side covers off to check it the oil pump is leaking anywhere.

 

Oil will tend to spray down and back due to gravity and the wind while you are driving. Chase it forward and up to find the source. Best bet is to clean everything with some brake clean and a rag then start the engine and let it idle for 20 mins or so then recheck for a leak. Its easier to find a leak if the oil isn't sprayed everywhere.

 

Agreed. I would check engine oil and make sure the level is OK. Then clean everything. Drive it 10 miles or so and check to see where the oil is coming from.
