Oil leaking from somewhere, idk where its comming from....

ook. heres the deal, all a sudden i park and i got oil like all over the bottom of my car, and its dripping , and i cant figure out where its comming from, its all right below my belts and all over the driver side front wheel section, its like splatted all over the place, but im not losing any engine oil, i check my oil and its fine.... where could it be comming from? i looked, and i cant find anything, seems to be just leaking out of something, i thought it had something to do with the brakes, cause sometimes when i stop it likes to pull to the right, IDK, if anyone has any suggestions please tell me, im dieing here....

hehe, wow, this is weird, yea i have no clue where its comming from, like when i park, ill come back to my car, and there will be spots of oil on the ground, but no sign of engine damage at all

Well if its constantly leaking everytime you park it would eventually be evident on your dipstick. If its leaking like you say it is but ur not losing any engine oil im thinking thats not what your leaking. You should check other things too maybe power steering fluid?

you have em up there. Get the oil dye leak kit. You put dye in your oil, drive it for a bit, park it, and use a blacklight and the leak will glow. I had to use this to find my leak. Did you check the filter housing area? Do you leave oil trails? Are you sure it's oil? Have you checked tranny fluid? What color is it? What does it smell like? Can you actually see where it's dripping from (not the source of the leak but at what point it's leaked down and is dripping off your car)?

You also might want to take a look at your oil pan gasket, they are notorious...

Well im going today to my uncle's garage with a lift, so im gonna get down and oily today, sunday is my day off from the wife, so its my time to get dirty, but i hope its the oil pan gasket, and thanx for that oil die idea, i really had no idea that sold anything like that, but ill be sure to check into it, and to the other guy , i really have no clue where its comming from at all, its just like oil all underneath my right front end body, its not like a stream of oil, just drips when i park and now that it happened, my belt seems to start squeeling at low rpms , i gotta go fix this today, cause idk what the hell is going on, oh yea its just like motor oil, i smelt it , its motor oil...

well i figured out the problems, its leaking from the oil pan and the oil pan plug, and the belt squeeling is cause i broke a bolt off the alternator so its moving around, hehe, thats not good, but from what i see its comming from the oil pan and the oil plug, anyone got any other suggestions?
