Hi All,
When I bought my SF in 2016 the front cam cover seal was brittle so the engine had a lot of oil over the front. I replaced this early last year and it seemed to stop any drips. However I am now getting a drip stain about the size of a Nickel most days when I leave the car after driving to work and back (30 mins). It;s pooling up on the front engine mount then dripping off. I think some of it is the extremely hot conditions we've had lately and some of the residual oil from the previous leak might be running down.
I know the cam cover seals are a common issue, but where else can the engine leak from the front?
