[urq] Oil leak!

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Since it's so easy to see there (NOT), I suggest removing the front grille,
spraying the suspected area and above the filter flange with your favorite
brake clean, letting it dry and then check for leaks again with flashlight.
Of course, I don't recall if you can even see the are with just the grille
removed -- you may want to remove the bumper/facia as well.  By sizeable -- 
do you mean dripping or streaming?
