All, just noticed a puddle of oil after stopping real quick for milk. Level on dipstick was still ok, but i am having a hard time finding the source. The oil return lines seem really wet but not leaking such that would explain the puddle under the car. Is one of the lines prone to leaking in an area other than what I noticed from crawling under the car? I am dropping it off Tomorrow and not driving it at all, i took a flashlight and poked around looking down into the engine. It seems there is a small puddle "under" the turbo and pooling on what I am thinking is the top of the tranny.

I know folks have had a "small" leak when the gasket for the return line goes but i'd say I have more than just a small leak.

Car is running fine BTW, just hoping its not anything like the seals between the engine blocks. Again without really cleaning the area or having a lift (or ramps right now) I wasn't able to see too much....just wondering if anyone knew of the oil volume that leaks if one of the lines really "goes"...and if it would seem logical to pool on top of where I noticed (under turbo, guessing its the top of the tranny assy).

Thanks
steve
