okay i thought it might be the omp from where it was coming from but it isn't.. it is on the passenger side of usa.. and there is a fork next to the oil pan.. when redlining it almost pours from that fork.. i think it might be squirting from the oil pan on to the fork and then dripping off is this possible and what is right above the fork i will post pictures next post

if you have a fork in your oil pan you should definitely replace it....

but seriously i have no idea what youre trying to describe, maybe the engine mount bracket?

here it is circled, that is exactly where it is dripping from

could be just the oil pan but im thinking it looks like its coming from higher up, towards the OMP area, but it could be other things. hard to tell without getting under the hood.

generally oil wont squirt out of the oil pan, it doesnt have enough pressure pushing on it, oil pan leaks are generally more of a seepage situation. so if it is in fact squirting id look elsewhere.

problem solved leaky oil pan gasket, btw is your guys oil pan gaskets the liquid goopy stuff? this one is... going to the cardboard gasket yay!!!

teknics

stick with just silicone, the gasket will make it leak easier believe it or not, theres a few old rotary tricks too but just use normal silicone.

Be careful not to get ANY goop in the bolt holes - it can crack the block.

Old school trick.....

I think it should be the oil pan seal
mine is leaking too, after my engine changed by Mazda
but have no time to go back and fix it...
not a real big problem
many cars are leaking oil, but better check your oil level more frequently

n/m on the gasket there is no such thing as a oil pan gasket from m azda on these cars... i used something called the right stuff works great!!... fixed it....
