The "Wash, Run, Poof" method for oil leak discovery:
1.      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. Happy Holidays,
Jim Frantz
