Where's all this oil comin' from? 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Mon May 5 19:02 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Ayiee. I suppose this car has been leaking for quite a while (would explain some of the oil consumption). In the past 12 hours, it's gotten much worse... to the point where I've got an effective mosquito killer.

Question is, what's leaking?

Upon return from the city, I took a look under the hood (exhaust side completely coated in oil).. fired her up and it appears that oil is dripping from in front of the oil filter somewhere. My first thought was that the oil filter (Purolator) was loose (it wasn't). It's actually dripping down the side of the block... so I don't think it's an oil cooler line. Any ideas?
