my car has started leaking a fair amount from somewhere in the upper left hand side of the engine. it llooks to be possibly coming from around the power steering pump, or behind the plastic sheild just below it and then leaking down and dripping off the oil filter.

it leaves a good 10-15cm stain each time i park it overnight.

it isnt really going through much oil. using the dipstick as a guide. it has gone from full, to a pooftenth below full since i first noticed the leak a week ago.

does anyonw know what a likely cause would be?

thanks.

edit- sorry, should mention it is engine oil.

Hard to say from your description but more than likely is the rocker cover.

Give it a good degrease ,check rocker cover bolt tensions and give your pvc valve lines a good clean.

How to on above in forum use a search.
