Post 99 LHS Slow Oil Leak Driver Side.

Hi Everyone,

I have Just noticed a slow oil leak coming from the front driver side of 99 LHS. I cannot track the leak and seems to only leak sporadically after the engine has been running. has anyone else encountered this problem, and know of a way to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

simple need to look up there and see oil can be coming from any where lines block radiator so really just need to look and see what it is leaking.

Could be a number of things located in that area.
Oil Filter ? Loose/recent oil change/double gasket?
3.5? Oil Pressure light sending unit right next to the filter ?
Oil Cooler supply fitting/line?
Need to get it up and look at it to pin point what is leaking...

I did notice there was some leaking around one of the hoses that looked like it was heading into the radiator. I notice most of the leaking on the black ground effect that is located right under my bumper on the diver side. The Oil has not been changed recently, actually it is just about due for change, and have not had any oil pressure sensors come on. Does this sound more like a oil cooler supply line? Or something else. BTW thanks for all your help!

Transmission and power steering cooling lines in the same area. What color is the leaking fluid? If red could be P/S or trans..

The Fluid is black, I thought It could be the trans fluid, but I check that and it was normal, and the power steering looked normal too.
