Oil Issue and Questions

Front cranks seal.... oil pump drive seal.. both cam seals... and then the timing cover could leak... oil pan if it has a cork gasket....rear seal and valve covers.. all the main things that can leak... tend to read alot about front seals leaking and have had to replace in both gf and my supra...

car wash... give it a good bath..buy some of them ramps at k mart cheap.. drive car on ramps clean real good..stay away from the ele stuf but you can pretty much clean the underside real good and not hurt anything.. dont blast the power stearing boots...

if its real oily ...only cleaning then checking for freash oil will pinpoint leak... could be simple like a hose on oil cooler...to something major like seals..
