I unfortunatly took my 1995 na 850 sedan to a jiffy lube for the first time in december 09. I am thinking that it was overfilled at that time, as it started leaking in the next several days, and it had never leaked before. They used 5W30 oil that i havnt used before, it was dino oil as i always use and this is on the rinse phase of my auto rx treatment.

The leak is at the front of the engine above the oil pressure sending unit. I cant tell wher the leak is coming from but it is all over the front of the block and drips constantly.

I replaced the entire PVC / Breather system last summer and am wondering if one of those connections could have come loose. here is an image of the block with the intake manifold removed, any ideas as to where my leak may be coming from? and could it be from just from overfilling? I NOW NEED TO FILL THE OIL PRETTY FREQUENTLY.

thank you for any advise
