B16 oil leak
I have oil leaking from somewhere but can't really find it. Bit the rear crossmember and bottom of car is coated in oil and the car smokes from underneath when I get on the car hard. So far I've replaced cam seals, which were leaking and oil pan gasket, which was leaking, but it is still leaking fluid from somewhere. I'm going to replace the oil filter cooler next. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and what was the solution.

Re: B16 oil leak
What you oughta do is get some oil "u/v" die, and run the car for about a day or two and then get a U/v light and inspect where the leak is coming from.

Curious. While its usually the simplest explanation, I'd still ask, are you running anything from the oil pressure sensor port aside from the stock oil pressure sender unit (ie. a T fitting, etc.)?

Re: B16 oil leak
You didn't say anything about replacing your front crank seal. Mine had a leak (from installing a new one incorrectly ) and from what I could figure the spinning of the crank slung the oil onto the firewall/crossmember area. I installed a new (correctly this time ) and no more leak.
The only way I figured it out was by getting under the car and looking directly up at where the front crank seal is. Then I followed that line straight back towards the firewall and if that's the area where the oil was.
