Hello Fellows,

I'm having trouble tracing down a pretty significant oil leak, and hoped someone on here might be able to direct me to the right spot.

The oil is /dripping/ (note: this is where it's falling off the car and onto the ground, but doesn't tell me much about where it's actually coming out of the car) off the lower passenger side corner of the radiator.

It's puddling on the bottom of the radiator in that corner and then dripping off the car. There seem to be a couple other smaller places where oil is dripping off similar low parts of the car in the vicinity of that area as well, but mostly it seems to be coming from there.

I cannot for the life of me figure out where the oil is coming from. It's absolutely freezing cold outside right now (the windchill was listed as -44C (-47F) this morning, and it is just too cold to be outside crawling around under the car with no idea what I'm looking for.

Any help will be greatly greatly appreciated. I'm going through a fairly considerable amount of oil, esp considering how little seems to be dropping onto the driveway - I must be losing a lot when I'm driving...
