I'm putting in a new clutch and powerflex bushings. Once I got the subframe off I noticed oil residue on the front of the engine. I can't tell where it's from, it looks like some is oozing from the dipstick. Could it be the oil pan gasket? I thought about changing that also since it seems to sometimes be an issue and I have access to it. In the bentley it mentions oil underneath if there is a rear main seal leak. Could this be a rear main? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance. |

Looks like its from the crank position sensor. Common leak, cheap o-ring replacement. PITA to get to.
