Two new oil leaks (with pics)

[fk4cyl]

Hi, I picked up a '98 GST Spyder last month and so far repaired one oil leak in valve cover gasket. Now I have located two more oil leaks but am not sure what these parts are. One is at bolt/nut near oil filter. Other is near mid engine bottom. Pics of both attached below:

Pressure wash it first and then check where the leaks are at..

whenever i have an oil leak i totally clean all the oil off. cruise around a little ways and then check. sometimes it will be coming from a totally different lace then you would have assumed.

All i gotta say is pray the second picture you showed that the leak isn't coming from the rear main seal. It's a mother to change.

First pic show a block off plug on the oil filter housing & the second pic may be the rear main seal but as others have said, with that much oil already built up its really hard to track the source. Clean it up & go from there.

Yea, if that's the rear main seal - tranny has to come out, and off comes the clutch and flywheel..and hope the oil hasn't begun to destroy the clutch assembly, for if so, you're gonna get a new clutch as well.

What usually blows seals out is excessive crankcase pressure. Check your PVC valve first .. is your dipstick blowing out also?
