Oil Leak on LQ1 - Possible Locations

Recommended Posts

Ok so recently my little drop of oil overnight has been turning into mini puddles, by puddle(s), I mean like 3-4 puddles of oil from 2 inches diameter - 6 inches diameter. I have heard of the dist. drive o- ring going bad, but when I replaced the intake gaskets, I cleaned around the Dist. Drive and I got around to checking it out today and its still clean around it.

 

I also didn't replace the internal camshaft cover gasket when I replaced the intake manifolds... I didn't know what the heck it was so i didn't bother. Could that be a location of leakage? I can see oil sitting right up against the rear head when looking down through the lower intake, kind of near the PS Pump...

 

HELP ME!!!!

 

EDIT: one leak is coming from the oil drain plug, it obviously needs a new gasket.

I think an area of leakage could be the actual lower intake, where it seals against oil flowing out of the head and down into the engine......
