Hi,

It's not power steering, brake fluid or transmission. Oil leak is bad enough that it leaks on the inside of the wheel and flings it all over the wheel well. Noticed it's leaking on the to all the steering components and a bit on the frame. I have to keep on adding oil. Don't want to go to a mechanic because lack of funds. Any recommendations where to start looking?

Hello,

Oil leak is always frustrating, especially when it is difficult to determine what is leaking. The leak can come from the oil pan, oil filter housing, crank seal etc.

Here is a very helpful article of step by step to diagnose a leak:

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you are able to determine what is leaking.

Thank you.
