Oil comes from: oil pan gaskets, drain plug, head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, main seal...who knows. Engine oil or tranny oil or front diff oil? Can you tell? That sucks man. :popcorn:

Best case scenario: hopefully your oil filter has just worked itself loose and is pissing a little. Let us know. :beerchug:

When I did my first oil change Inoticed the dealer left some oil in the drip pan located under the filter.There was also some oil on the underside of the skidplates.:twak:

My following oil change it was dry as a bone.(I wiped the area and sprayed with brake cleaner):D

X2. I was wondering if you had a recent oil change myself. Or perhaps there was to much oil in the engine and it blew it out somewhere....

I just hope you didn't break a seal somewhere. :popcorn:

Edit: This is best case scenario. Pull out a creeper and roll on under there.

I had to have my main seal replaced at about 4k. No problem since

When did you last change your oil?

My last oil change they spilled some oil around the engine and the next few days after I thought I had the same problem.
