That side you have the oil separator, the cam seals, and the crank/oil pump seal. Of course the dipstick seal is in the area. Check the oil filter to make sure the leak isn't coming from there (and if it is coming from the pan, you're best to walk away.. unless of course, you get that garage with an engine hoist..) Timing belt cover isn't hard to get off, would tell you a lot. Cam seals aren't awful to replace, crank seal is a little more involved, but not in the ballpark as a RMS.


You might have success with putting a bottle of Auto-RX in either car. It helps recondition the seal, which might help the 240 stop leaking...
