oil leak detection help...

[chatas17]

Can anyone give me a hint as to where my oil leak is coming from? I just cleaned the area and went for a 15 minute drive. Came back and it was smoking pretty good (off the exhaust) and oil was present. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Could be from a number of places, but Id start by checking the oil-pressure switch, breather cover, and thermostat on the top, rear of your engine, all common leak areas...
