    Oil leaks....

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have an oil leak that is coming from the backside of the engine. The oil pan and forward is spotless, however I have oil running down the transmission and back.

    Are there any common spots that this leak could be from?

    Also: My oil light comes on intermittently however, the oil level is fine and it never does the oil pressure warning screech.

    Thanks.

    Car is a 1997 1.8tq automatic

    FWIW, I also have a leak near the back side of my engine (don't know exact location). I just ordered a valve cover gasket and cam tensioner gasket (link) and hoping that it will dispaear after I change them.
