    help me find my oil leak

    I have an oil leak somewhere and I can't find the source. Top of the passenger side control arm is coated in oil from it. Any ideas?

      Clean everything off. Look for oil on the clean surface... works like a charm every time. If you're still having problems, some parts stores actually sell a florescent dye that you can put in your oil - works best with fresh, clean oil though. Obviously you'll need a UV light and yellow goggles to take that route... but it does work well.

        ^ clean first and then start looking. Its so much easier to find these when the area is pressure washed clean.

          Oil pressure switch. Unplug the switch, start the engine, and look for oil coming out past the electrical pins.
