Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello,
This morning, I noticed a small puddle of oil on the ground directly beneath my driver's side tailpipe. It's definitely oil and it looks like it's coming from something directly above the tailpipe as some of the drips are coming down the chrome pipes.
Does anyone know what is leaking??
Thanks in advance!
Very welcome. If you wait ilntu after the event to get it fixed, just keep an eye on your oil levels since you will be operating the car at higher levels. Still, can't imagine how you could be losing more than a few drops from where it is coming from. To be sure though, you might want to jack up the car, remove the rear wheels and look at both spark plug banks to see if that is in fact where you leak is coming from.
There is a chance though this could also be your oil separator which you do NOT want to be out on the track with if it's ready to blow. If that goes you will lose alot of oil. I had that actually happen at the track and I immediately ended my weekend while it was still just a leak.
Bottom line? At least try to confirm the source. Plugs? Track safe. Separator? No go.
Oil dripping on yur chrome tips could be from the motor mounts. I had a puddle about the size of a CD-ROM from the drivers side. Hasn't leaked any more but it may be dry by now. Look under the car ansd see if it is dripping from the tip of the bolt.
looking at your tips it looks like coolant looks green on the pics . Hard to believe that's from a seal where the plugs from. Howeve i thing you would know the difference between coolant and oil.
Damn, now you have 2 projects to do!
1. Coolant tank
2. Oil leak (wherever it's coming from)
You don't want your coolant tank to go, and it is about to since it is in it's "leaking" stage. That goes at the track and you get coolant on your rear tires and you'll be fixing more than just a tank.
The oil really needs to be isolated. By the way, did you just change your oil? It looks brand new
