Oil Leak from Oil Dipstick Tube or Where?
Hi everyone. I am trying to locate an oil leak in my 2000 GV 2.5L Automatic 4x4. I recently did an oil change less than a month ago and yesterday I checked my oil and the oil dipstick was completely dry except the very tip. I did see oil drips and saw a bunch of oil blow-back under the GV. I looked around the oil filter and made sure it wasn't loose, i didn't find much oil residue in this area so i kept looking around. I ended up seeing 2 fresh oil streak lines coming from around/ near the base of the oil dipstick tube. I could not exactly see the base where it attaches to the oil pan because it seems to go in-between some other part. Is it possible that all my oil leaked out from the base of the oil dipstick tube? Or what other place in this area can spring a leak?
I am going to try and wash the underbody when the weather gets better in a few days to see if i can see what area my oil leak is at.
