Wash the engine and let dry. Pay particular to the suspect area. 2. Run the engine to normal operating temperature and shut down. 3. Dust the suspect area with baby powder. The crack from which the oil is leaking will show up as discolored powder. I have found that a squeeze bottle works good to poof the baby powder onto the suspect area.
