Locating Oil leak..

[98mitsubishigst]

So just recently i've come across a oil leak and it's been getting worse and worse, to the point where my driveway is stained..

It started after i got tuned on e85, at 11psi on low boost i don't see smoke.
But after i turn it to high setting *25* i notice alot of smoke..

So i'm assuming the oil leak has something to do with pressure as well..

Now the middle to upper section of engine/engine bay is clean! but the oil pan is oily, the crossmember, some exhaust is oily;.. idk where to start..

help!

I would start at the oil return line from the turbo, it's pretty common. You can also check the hoses at the oil cooler, but I'd bet it's your oil return line.

Yes the two most common are the oil cooler and the oil return from turbo, that I've had in my experiences. The oil cooler is located behind the oil filter and you may need to replace the O ring that's behind the oil cooler. In some rare cases all you need to do is take off oil filter and tighten the bolt that your oil filter screws on to. Both have happened to me and can be annoying, but certainly not the worst leaks. Grab a light, rags and a can of parts cleaner. Good luck
