So this months issue is an engine oil leak. Most definitely engine oil. Looks like about .25 qt/1k miles.
I know it's NOT the drain plug or crush seal since that was already changed. Whatever it is comes from the backside of the motor and runs down the backside of the oil pan. Aside from the oil pan gasket is there anything else back there that could potentially leak?
The car was recently repaired as a result of an encounter with a median curb. The front motor mount was replaced as was the front subframe and left strut assembly. My fear is that the impact has possibly cracked the engine casing at a mount or sealed union.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks.
(Maybe it's time to trade)
