please keep us posted on what you find out. It would be good to file it away as a precaution and what to look for if other EVO's experience the same oil leak problem. Good luck, and I hope it's something simple.

I can't see this making enough for smoke, but maybe the seal on the oil cap is bad. Mine had to be replaced.

hmm...maybe it wasnt you...maybe it was a ruf road and it jarred something loose...ur skid plate on? when was the last time u changed oil? do u have a pressure gauge? just things to help avoid the simple, yet demanding once n a while events such as this.
