I bought this car last month and noticed a few drops of oil on the driveway. Now it is a rather large rectangular puddle right under the front of the tranny. I bought some ramps today (Rhino plastic, pretty cool) and got under the car for the first time. It appears that the oil is coming from the oil filter housing area and dripping down behind the starter and blowing back. It was very hard to see anything. I can tell that it is not coming from the head gasket, it is dry up there.
Question: Is this a common leak and how do I go about repairing it, from under the car or from the top? Any help is appreciated.
