Last Oil Leak To Fix, Help Needed
 

Ok guys, this is the last oil leak I need to fix then my car will be dry and I need of a good undercarriage steam and detail. If you take a look at the pic attached you'll see a very small leak on my garage floor, it's passenger side right behind the lower control arm is where it falls on the ground. Ideas anybody???

I can't locate it from up top and am going to try and get it on the lift this weekend but was looking for some heads up before I go searching for it. Thanks.

In that location, prime suspects would be:

oil filter housing (including pressure switches, temp switch, and cooler line fittings)
cam cover
cam cover bolt
center exhaust header stud

Oil pan stud.

Yep, that would probably be the easiest fix!

There is an oil pressure sensor just behind the oil filter housing on the block. It is prone to leak and since it will follow the wire to a low spot it is hard to find.

My 1991 leaked in same location and was Oil pressure sensor switch. Pain to get to though. Search forum for great tricks to get at sensor.

when was the last time you tightened your pan bolts?

Luckily that last oil leak was just residual oil that need to drain off from the oil cooler lines leak running down the frame rail, car has zero leaks and is dry as a bone. Thanks for all the advice fellows.

^^^ I was shocked at how much residual oil from oil cooler line leak was left on the bottom of the shroud. I chose to take out the radiator and clean it all out. sent the rad and oil cooler out for service when I had the chance.

Not fun, but thorough.
