got an oil leak. ...

my car has just recently been leaking oil and its gettting worse. Its running down from the oil pan, but Im not sure from where, It may just be the oil drain waher, that I havent changd in like a year, and it could be the filter, but what else could it be from? its on that side of the motor, back side.

Check the oil cooler seal on the back of the block, it is one seal everyone forgets but needs to be replaced. I replaced my recently, now no leaks!

Ya make sure you check the Oil cooler O-ring. I just had to change mine. I had oil dripping on my exhaust and always smelled. If you have big hands like me it is going to be kind of a pain but easy enough to do it yourself. The O-ring is like $2 or something. You will need some long needle nose pliers to get the clamps though. All you have to do is drain the coolant, drain you oil, take your oil filter off and the big nut that is attached to the cooler and there you have it.
