Clean it off really well and add some of this AC Delco dye to the oil, then look at it a few days later with a black light. It should show you where your leak is coming from.

I also spray down the oil filter area with Super Tech carb cleaner from Walmart. Works great, dries fast.

The part at the end where they talk about the +/- 0.5 L tolerance makes me feel better about my trans cooler lines leaking.

Thanks for the tip. That's a great idea. I see they say it's safe for diesel engines, but I wonder if it's DPF safe. I will look into this more.
