Where else would the leak be on the back of the engine? I sure hope it is not the seam between the case halves. The 1.9 engine in our van is a low miles rebuild and has had a small leak from day one. The leak apears to be getting worse. The oil originally appeared near the drain plug. After a run on the highway oil drips off the engine carrier.

After you get to it, it's not hard to replace. Can't say I've ever seen a leaky one particlarily though, but it's sure something to consider. |
