Unfortunately, we don't have a manual on this vehicle so we can't off the specifics that you may be looking for but we can help with how to find the source of a leak. I would suggest cleaning the area so that you have a fresh surface to start with and then add an engine oil dye so that you can trace where the leak is coming from.

Here is a basic guide on how this works:

Take a look at that and let me know what you find. Thanks
