Hey guys. I got a 92 with oil leak that looks like its coming from somewhere near the thermostat area. Hard to see. Passenger side near thermostat. Is that the cylinder cover gasket. Like i said its difficult to see but seems to drip onto powersteering rack. Im not to great when it comes to mechanics but im just looking for a stab in the dark.

Stab in the dark: intake leak at that corner, electrolysis in that area is bad, thermostat housing or gasket, there are also a couple hoses in that area.

Sorry, my dyslexia kicked in. OIL leak, well I'd say the front edge of the intake.
