Possible oil leak?

When you say left side, do you mean passenger side? Have you replaced your oil lines yet with aftermarket lines?

Left as in driver’s side? Nothing really in that area, but I’ll offer a suggestion…anytime I go to change the oil and filter in mine, I always end up with oil from the filter area dripping on to the top of the front-most carbon fiber belly pan. I always end up having to remove the back two bolts to be able to wipe it up. It always ends up being a fairly significant amount of oil that collects there, so I’d give that a look.

left side = drivers side. I have owned the car for 6 years and have not replaced any lines, other than fixing the power steering line. Where do the oil lines start leaking at?

They can leak at either end, but the oil cooler lines are on the passenger side of the block. Mine started leaking at the connections on the block side.

Make sure that the filler cap O ring is good, use a mirror and make sure it’s not leaking I just went through tracking a oil leak on left front and that’s what mine was.

Was changing the oil this weekend getting ready for NVE2 and the funnel slipped and some oil did run down the side of the block area, I didn’t think it was very much. I cleaned up all the oil and it still seemed there was some oil dripping under the frame near the left motor mount (2 days later). The oil level was unchanged. I went ahead and went on a spirited 10 mile drive (also wanted to check make sure the new pirellis were ready to go). I put it back on the lift and there was still oil under the frame with wet oil spots going down the side sill. Is there a place on the left side where it could be leaking or do you think it is just the residue when the funnel slipped? (drain plug is not leaking / o ring was removed from the old filter)
