you should wash evrything off clean then run it and try to track down the source of the leak.
leave it run in once place untill you see oil drip on the ground, then shut it off, slide under and start looking up. or you can get under it with it running but i didnt tell you to do that... my luck youd run yourself over somehow[&:]
