So the car's been leaking oil. It's nothing new. The car has leaked a little oil for the 9 years i've been driving it. But it started getting worse this past weekend. It would let out about a 6" diameter stain on my floor each time i parked it. So I checked the oil level and topped it off accordingly. Then i drove 4 hours and left it parked for the holiday weekend. No big deal. No leak as far as I could see. Drove it the 4 hours back home, parked it, and put a sheet of cardboard under it to show me new leaks. When i came home from work today, there was a puddle about 2 feet in diameter, centered under the back left side of the engine (from the front). The new oil splatter seems to come from the back of the engine, so I'm wondering if it's the rear cam seal. See the pictures and let me know what you think. . .
