Hey guys,
So I just recently bought and 2003 evo 8 with around 60k miles on it. And I have been going through doing the fluids and have come to find it has an oil leak. But only seems to be leaking while the car is running. Any suggestions to what possibly could be the source of the leak?

Where abouts is the leak? Oil pan, oil filter housing, turbo? Let us know

It seems to be from the oil pan, but can see no noticeable cracks or damage. checked the oil filter and drain plug and doesnt seem to be coming from either of those locations. But the leak is no higher than the oil pan itself so that seems to be the source.

Turbo oil return line or oil pan gasket would be my first thoughts

Get a can of brake clean, remove all the existing oil on the outside of the engine, start it up and see where it's coming from.

Does it leak at idle or do you have to drive the car to notice it???

Not that i know of Then again i haven't really searched for any meets...My car was also leaking oil but only under boost...I installed a dual catch can setup and it pretty much went away...But if yours is leaking at idle it's probably more than blow by

Ya since i've had the car I've been to a few Subaru meets but haven't heard of anything else.

Could be a crankshaft seal.

I am replacing my rear output seal on the transfer case due to mine leaking. Could check that.
