Oil change

CYL · 07-02-2016, 06:50 AM

After 7000km, I have done another oil change again today.
However I found that there are some oil leak under the car, not sure what could they be, anyone got thoughts?
I will fix it ASAP if they are critical.
Many thanks.

This one is right towards the rear of the car after the drain bolt.
Transmission?

Took this one from the uncovered section under the car towards the rear of the car after the drain bolt section.
I am pretty sure that the pipe in the photo is exhaust pipe.

It's more likely to be the valve cover gasket or PCV connector leaking up the top of the engine and running down the head/block. Check around the seal between the valve cover and the head for residue.

I noticed oil residues around the same area when doing my last oil change, was told it could be oil pan gasket or rear main seal if the usual suspects (valve cover gasket/cover itself) are already addressed.
