May sound stupid but if you will clean the area with Purple Power (or a like cleaner) Rinse it well (Do not get the PP on your exterior paint), and let it completely dry. Then run/ drive it just enough to make it leak.....can you see the origin? If not, sprinkle some flour around the area and Blow away the excess (Dry) with compressed air from a distance, as not to disturb the oils path. Can you find it now? I hope this helps--The Medic
