Hi guys, I hope you can help with this.

So I've been working on and off on a 96 blazer 4wd with 203k miles for almosta year trying to get it on the road. I now have an oil leak coming from the front passenger side. The oil pan, part of the passenger side control arm, and front skid plate all have a thin layer of oil on them. the leak itself seems fairly slow; my oil dipstick has only registered a slight drop. When I park after driving for a while, there only seems to be a few drips on the ground.

Any ideas on where to look? My automotive knowledge is just enough to get me in trouble.

 

Could be the oil lines from the remote oil filter to the engine block, pretty common problem with these things.

 

^x2^ also check around your valve covers as they leak frequently and check the torque on the oil pan bolts. I've read several old threads in the last couple days about the bolts working loose and causing a small leak while reseaching what else I should change when I have my trans out.

 

Thanks guys. I'll try and give you an update tonight.
