Oil Leak
On my 3.3 turbo it has developed a significant oil leak on the right hand side (same side as Oil tank) it drops mainly on the right side of the exhaust at the forward end
Any ideas? |

Many leaks start on top and make their way down. It is sometimes helpful to clean/de-grease the engine and watch carefully as the engine idles - often times the leaks are more obvious on a clean(er) canvas...especially if it's "significant" as you have indicated.
Some possibilities: -the low oil pressure warning light sensor, located on top of the engine in between cylinders three and six. -Valve covers. -Rocker shafts. -Oil return tubes. -Engine mounted oil cooler seals, and/or the "S" hose that connects the cooler to the oil tank.
