any ideas where it could be coming from.
thanks

 

It's going to be tough to figure out with oil covering such a large area. It could be blowing back from many places. I would clean it well with degreaser and ride around the block and check it again. You want to see it when it's just around the area it's coming from. From the pictures it could be the oil filter, base gaskets, stator plug or the primary to block gasket. Or any number of other areas.

 

To me it looks like the bottom of the jugs, but as mentioned above clean it real good and take a ride. Then inspect closely with a flashlight.

 

My first thought was oil filter or oil left from oil change around filter area, then blowing back . thoroughly clean with degreaser, make sure oil filter is snug. Let it dry, then go for a ride and reinspect area.

 

Could be oil filter area, stator area, or base gaskets.

 

I agree with everyone above ,but check your oil filter adapter too. They are known to leak too. The top plate and plugs are the locations to look at. And the adapter can be loose at that point. Adapter to engine point where the filter screws on.

 

thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate it. I'm going to clean it up real good then take it for a short ride to see if I can determine where is coming from.
