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.

After my car was parked for 2 hours this morning, I returned to find my 2002 C2 Cab bleeding...
The attached picture shows a 2 foot diameter oil puddle. Oil was dripping at the rate of 1 drop every 5-10 seconds.
I couldn't see the source of the leak, but it was dripping from the oil drain plug. Thoughts? RMS? Cracked housing? Loose oil drain plug?
It's at Lucent Motors. The RMS has been changed twice since the engine was replaced at 10,000 miles.
Thoughts?
Man, I would spit that oil out to...Looks pretty dirty. When my IMS failed the oil was more to the middle of the car, put on lift and take a closer look.
did you open the back up and see if there is any oil in there... around the air box, sprayed or otherwise?? Maybe take a picture UP at the bottom of the motor from front and back and both sides?

Car's been fixed!
The oil was leaking from a small crack in the sump cover, near the oil drain plug. There were a few impact marks on the cover. New oil sump cover, 17 qts. of oil (filled twice), a new filter, and all is well.
Big thanks to Tom, Jesus and Carlos at Lucent Motors!
