WHERE...WHERE...AND WHERE.....DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN CONNECT A VACUUM CLEANER TO ANY PORT ,OIL FILLER TUBE,CAP..ANYTHING THATS HOLDING THE OIL UP ON TOP OF THE ENGINE TURN THE VACUUM CLEANER ON TO GET A SUCTION IN THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE AND APPLY SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES ON SEALERS WHERE ITS LEAKING AND THE VACUUM WILL PULL IT IN... NOT WELL SAID BUT IT WAS FUN TO SAY..

OR.....you might add a SPECIAL DYE to the engine oil ....let her run at idle for about 15 min. Then start looking around for the Leak. We use a FLORESANT dye....but that requires a special light to see the leak. Also consider this....get out and under with your camera and take pictures. Let us all take a good look at this leak.
