Hi all,

I've looked under the car today again (I cleaned outside and around the oil tank yesterday). Oil is leaking somewhere but i really don't have enough experience to understand which part need to be changed and where it is leaking.

Here is the video:

I dont see any drips, how often must you add oil? Gotta be careful w rear of the engine drips as anything up above leaking w end up down there, like valve covers, etc.

Thank you HemiRick for your response. When I 'bought the car changed the oil and filter ( 4 weeks ago). It's not dropping oil (i may used wrong word "leaking") but It's not dry either. Do I need to change valve cover swap or where and how can i begin to search bugs(wrongs)?

Spray degreaser, and hit it with a hose underneath

I just raise one side a little, and get some spray degreaser. Soak it down good,let it sit, then spray it down. Oil pan,trans. crossmember.ect.

Yep, even Simple Green works good. Be sure to get the whole car up to temperature and then spray and wash. Much easier when the "oils" are more liquid.
