Before you pull the motor, stop by your local FLAPS and pick up a bottle of "leak test dye". Also pick up a "Black light bulb", Wally World has them. Only cost a couple of bucks each for both.. Dump it in the engine and start, let it run until the leak starts. Shine the black light on the leak. It will have a yellow or orange color in any oil with the dye. Simple quick way to find an oil leak. Be sure and ask for motor oil dye. It comes for transmissions and power steering. This will work and its cheap! Good luck!
