Tracking Down Oil Leaks 2.7t
 
My 03 2.7t has been leaking on the passenger side both front and rear of the motor and I can't track down where exactly they are coming from......I've washed everything down and the motor is spotless. From above I can't seen any oil. What would be the best way to pinpoint them?

Try a mechanics mirror and flashlight from top. Pull the airbox, MAF, and accordion hose to get more access on passenger side. Usually valve cover gasket, cam seals, or cam tensioner seal.

From under the car, look for oil pan leaks. Note that there is an upper oil "pan" that the regular lower oil pan mounts on and sometimes this leaks where it attaches to block. Hope that it's not this.

Thats something I still don't have and need to get! a mirror. Great idea.

Car is running great minus these little leaks. Love to get them fixed.
