Oil leak?
So I've had my car for 2 weeks, and I think there's an oil leak. 500 hundred miles, possible? I haven't had a chance to look underneath yet. Thoughts?

My 2012 L99 2SS was bone dry underneath for the first 18 months or so, but at 10k miles, I saw a oil spot every three to five days of sitting... I whined about it a bit, but next time I went to change the oil, I saw the oil filter had drips on it. After I changed the oil, I made sure the filter was tight. No drips since.
Get under it and find out where its coming from, might be an easy fix!!! |

When I bought my Silverado in o2, the oil cooler was leaking. When I took my Camaro apart at 22k, it was leaking too. Both those times I just have the 10mm bolt a little tighten (careful your putting a steel bolt into aluminum).
Recently had to replace the cooler gasket on the Silverado at 155k.

I just had this problem when i first took my car out of the garage after winter. I noticed a small puddle of oil...like i could get under the car to see. So i took my phone..hit record and reached under the car as far as i could. I recorded the area i thought the oil was coming . Once i watch the vid i could see oil was dripping down the side of the filter. When i had my oil changed they confirmed it was leaking...now its bone dry.

I put white paper underneath and stayed clean. Talked with my brother and realized that he parked his old 69' Coronet on these boards. So false alarm. Thanks for the ideas.
