I've been having trouble finding my oil leak, from pictures I would assume that the gasket on my transmission pan and the pan should be replaced as well. But I did hear that bad valve cover gaskets could also be a symptom that leaks down. I will look further in on the leak but I want to know if it could be the valve covers that might be the issue. Thanks

 

Get an inspection mirror and a good flashlight and look around for the leak. Sounds like you're not using an inspection mirror.

Shine the flashlight ON THE MIRROR and it will reflect the light where you're looking. Takes a little practice but this is how you find leaks on cars.

EDIT: I recommend a 2" mirror, not the smaller ones.

 

Okay so to follow up, I've went under the car right under the dripping spot and found out that above the gasket of the pan is completely clean and dry. Making me believe that it's likely a leak on the gasket.

 

Make sure to check all the way around the pan, oil can hit that seal at the lower pan gasket and work all the way around it to drip at an entirely different location.

What happened to your exhaust?

 

Lol the cats were stolen, sounds like a v8 now.

 

Gonna get some test pipes and a new y pipe, hopefully easy install.

 

I want to update on this post, I noticed the drip was actually coming from this one bolt and it was almost finger loose. I went ahead and tightened it and it seems like it has stopped dripping. I might use some locktight on it in case it comes loose again during the ride. Not sure why that one bolt was very loose.
