Hey guys, So my car has been put into storage for winter due to harsh salting of Canadian roads ( Boring i know) anyways The car is in a fairly warm underground and i check on it quite often. During my recent check i discovered that my skid plate was saturated in what appears to be oil. Now here is where it gets strange. As you can see by the pics, The oil amount is pretty significant however not a single drop of oil can be seen anywhere near or around my car on the floor, Clearly there is a open "hole" that the leak has surrounded i dont know how nothing could of touched the floor. I got the opinions on some other forums and the only one that makes sense is " Sweat off the motor from starting it allowing moisture to run down the block" PERSONALLY ive never seen that, However through all of this it makes the most sense. Oil filter is dry and bolt and washer showing no signs of leaking at the pan as well as pan gasket. Maybe you fellas can help me out here?

PS car is a evo x 2015 FE with 18k ( not sure what that is in miles)

 

I had the same issue on my outlander even tho is not an evo but mine was from the loer powersteering line that goes to the rack and pinion it took me a while to find it

 

Just went and checked. Its for sure not power steering fluid, all levels also seem to be in check on power steering reservoir

 

Ohhh ok mine had and powersteering leak not a big of an leak while my reservoir looked full hope you can find the source of the leak

 

If it's a true mystery, you can add some tracer dye to the oil and check everything with a UV light.....

 

Check the 10mm bolts on your pan. They come pretty loose from the factory. Mine all turned an extra quarter turn with very little pressure. This helped my leak until i was able to pull the pan and reseal. Keep in mind there is no pan gasket on our cars, just sealant. Hope this helps
