Default Wanna help me diagnose a nice little leak?

This is from me parking my car last night until this afternoon when I moved it.



Anyone? Anyone? Rear main seal? Anyone?

Do you think that the distributor seal could be leaking that badly becasue it looks like it might be puking oil out of there.

By the way, I just put that quart in there to give an idea of size.

Well, the color definitely looks like engine and not tranny oil. Start at the top of the engine and start lookin for drips and such. If that fails, powerwash your engine and keep an eye out for the leak.

Yeah I am headed to the car wash with a stop to get some oil, but everything under the distibutor, all over the tranny, and just eveywhere underneath is covered.

Leaks suck.

Might as well take some degreaser with you and do a proper job of cleaning the engine.
