I looked behind my front passenger tire and I found oil all over the place and under the car my oil pan is covered with oil. I do not know, but it looks like the oil leak either splashed back while driving but I have burnt oil spots down my exhaust pipe. Where could the leak be coming from and what can I do?

Hello,

I would recommend taking your vehicle to a car wash or cleaning the oil yourself. his will give you a better idea of where it is coming from. There a couple of different spots I would pay attention to. They are the front main oil seal, the front of the oil pan gasket, and the oil sending unit. These are going to be where your oil is most likely leaking from the front and lower spots on your vehicle's engine. Please get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex
