Oil Leak........

Hi all, I have an obvious engine oil leak.

Not sure where it's coming from....... Possibly pan gasket?? Lots of oil smothered over bottom of engine.

Doesn't seem to be loosing oil off the stick real fast though.

Any advice?

Clean off the engine, better extend the breather hose down below the front axle. Then look closely at oil from the breather and oil from the vacuum/power steering pump assembley. Those are the two most obvious places. If they are dry, examine the timing case cover closely, hope you did not drop a pin. Search for KDP.

If you had KDP issues wouldn't you have engine performance/runbning problems??

This is a very slow leak. I'm betting on the pan gasket, but definitely willing to listen to other sugestions.
