Oil leak

[zachdeagle16]

I just finished rebuilding my engine i have noticed that my front case is leaking, it's not that bad maybe four or five drops everytime i stop. Should i try an fix it or let it ride, I really want to just let it ride, i just wanted to get some other opinions.

Mine leaks a little, too. I wish it didn't, but I'm not going to tear apart the whole thing to fix a minor annoyance. If it's not dripping on anything important, just let it ride.

If it's as small as your describing, get the car on jack stands, crawl under, wipe everything down, take a drive, at least until the car is warm, go home, turn it off and get under it again and see if you can pinpoint where the leak is coming from.

You really shouldn't let any leak just leak. It could be something major, on it's way out. If you let it go, you could be sorry.

In other words, STOP BEING A LAZY BUM

It might just be the front cover gasket. If it's only a few dropd here and there, I wouldn't worry about it yet. But if it progressivily gets worse, then you might need to replace a few things.

Take a look as said above, ands try just tightining the screws to make sure everything is tight after the engine warmed up the gaskets. If it is just a small leak it may just go away as the gaskets set.
