Mystery Oil Leak 01 Spyder GT
 
Ok guys. I'm at a little bit of a loss here. I bought this car about 6 months ago and have replaced VARIOUS bits and bobs on it. I am having an oil leak on the passenger side of the vehicle just inside the passenger side tire. It's not brake fluid, definitely oil. There's no fresh liquid on the brake lines, and my brake caliper bleeder valve is tight. Taste tested and everything. I just replaced the oil pan gasket thinking that was the issue, but the leak still remains. I've replaced both valve cover gaskets as well. Mind you the oil gunk on the bottom of my car is a bit dense- I haven't taken the time to clean it off very well- But I can't figure out for the life of me what could be leaking. Any ideas?

This is entirely me just using the tiny brain up in the bucket we call a head, but I can't think of what is on that side of the engine that would be leaking...what am I missing?

Oh, and it's the 3.0 V6, manual flavor

Thanks in advance

crank seal, cam seals, oil pump seals. When was the timing belt replaced? If you don't know when now is a good time and replace the seals and water pump at same time.

Like he said but i would double check valve cover gaskets they have a tendency to leak on these make sure u use the right tork pattern and amounts when u replace em too...could be the spark plug tube seal as well
