I have never posted here before but I can say this car is totally CRAP! Nothing but problems since I've gotten it. I have no idea where it's leaking from its on my passenger side. It's a high mileage car because I use it for my work.. this leak came on suddenly. Can someone please help me. Thanks! The leak started like the bottom photo and is now like the top View attachment 299075

Welcome Aboard!(y)

Clean the engine at least on the passenger side as that looks to be the worst. Run it for short periods and look for the leaks. Brake clean works reasonably well.

I will hazard a guess that some is from the CPASV seals, some is from the front crank seal and some may be in the turbo charge lines. You may need the PCV fix as well.

Are there any codes?

The following is a cut and paste from another post, but should address most of the issues you end up finding.

I'm sorry that I don't remember. They guy at O'Reilly told me that it would indicate the catalytic converter needed replaced as well as the turbocharger. But my car would say maintenance stable trak. It had actually only went 10 miles per hour full throttle. But it hadn't done That in a very long time. I actually drove it to Texas from Ohio with no problems then seems everything is going wrong with it. Loss of power going up hill. Now oil leaks. I'm just at a loss as well as stuck in texas
If it still runs, take it to a big box store and have them read again. Generic information in equals generic information out.

Did you not save the receipt from O'Reilly's with the codes on it?
