Does it look like this?

Mine turned out to be either the oil pan gasket (lower sump) or the oil
filer.  Changed the oil and installed the $30 gasket with a little high temp
silicon and it did the trick!

Hope yours is that easy.

Cheers,

Hi
I'm preparing to change the timing belt but after removing the
panel(under the car) I found that everything is soaked in oil.
The location is towards the back of the engine ,some is on the underside
of a Y piece and some on the exhaust.
Any advice ?
Could it be some of the camseals ?
Hope it's not the rear main.
thanks
John
