$%^&!!!

The weather was unseasonably nice today so I took girlfriend out for a little tire rubber removal.

When I backed her out of the garage, I noticed a 8 or 9 inch diameter oil stain on the floor.

From the position of the puddle on the floor, it's coming from the right front (passenger side) of the motor. Too far forward to be the oil pan, besides couple of months ago I tightened all the oil pan bolts. I'm guessing either the oil pressure sending unit or the oil cooler lines.

Won't know for sure until I get her up on the jack stands.
Bummer.
The good news is that even though she's got a leak, she can still fry the hides with the best of 'em.

There's a little less rubber on the rear tires and a nice pair of extra wide black marks on my favorite street.
