engine has small leak while driving, when parked oil dribs at r.h. front corner of engine.oil filter does not leak. replaced oil seals on crank and auxiliary shaft which was not leaking. can someone help, the leak is very annoying
 
Sure it is engine oil and not transmission oil? The differential is sealed by rubber on the driveshafts and if those are original, they might have started cracking and oil might travel across the subframe.
Replaced mine years ago and first tough it was the engine.


As for engine, filler neck or the dipstick tube loose on the block? Or just traveling down from the rocker covers?

Otherwise, clean and see where oil or other fluids starts appearing?

We'll check the leak on my friend's 1600 16V project and confirm if it is coming from the engine. Got to finish installing the bed cover and headache rack on the truck before we can clear the garage.
