S14 Oil Leak

[LP2 Zenki]

I noticed oil would drip after I drive my car, not many maybe about 3-5 drops. It's around my pulleys and alternator. Could it be my front main seal thats leaking? What else could be causing the leak? I know this has been posted a million times, I just wanna make sure. Thanks

The oil filter is around that area, I would check and make sure it's not loose.

Oil pan or timing cover gets my vote. Do your best to clean the engine with brake clean or degreaser, drive the car around, and check again. Leaks are easier to locate when shit is clean.

Clean it up really well then drove around and look again...

Pressure wash it if you have one and buy some engine dye and pour it in the oil. Drive for 200 miles or more and check to see where the leak is coming from. You'll be able to see the dye and hopefully identify the leak.

Like stated above first clean the underside of your engine with degreaser. Remember what the underside looks like after cleaning it (take pics if you have to). Drive it around for a hundred miles or so, then check to see if you can pinpoint it.

I'd you can't then add a dye like coupesallday said, and you'll easily be able to see it then.


Good luck
