Hello,

Is there any way to get a picture and upload for us? There are a few different places on an engine that oil can leak out of, front and rear main oil seal, oil pan, timing chain cover,head gasket, valve cover, oil filter, oil sending unit, and PCV valve. A picture would help, or at least a description of where it is leaking at. I have included a link for you to go to down below as well:

Please go through this guide get back to us with a picture, description, or with what you are able to find out, please.

Thanks,
Alex
