motor is a CA18DET, just got running good but i need to take care of this oil leak. Its coming from the intake side of the motor, dripping off of oil pan on intake side about 2-3 inches back from the front of the engine. The best I can see, its not coming from above the intake manifold so i think i can rule out rocker cover, and i'm not sure what external oil passages are on the intake side of the block. there is the oil filter housing and sender there, but I couldn't see anything there either. i dont think its from the oil pan because if i wipe it away it comes back real fast but from the left of the oil pan, the picture shows it all. you guys have any other ideas as to where this leak could be coming from?? I think next step is to remove alternator for clear view but I'd like to see if i can get a response first.
