Another new oil leak...
 
I have an oil leak coming from right in front of the oil pan, in the very center. Anyone know what else this could be leaking from besides the oil pan seal? I haven't tried that yet, I am getting an aftermarket oil pan anyway. This one is tore up, it was like that when I bought the used engine....

Check towards the front of the engine to see if it might be the seals on the Oil Metering Pump. Mine was leaking.

How hard is that to fix? Where exactly would that be leaking from. Would I be able to find a trail of oil to find out exactly what point that leak is coming from?

I am pretty sure it isn't the OMP. That is what I checked first and didn't see it coming from there. I cleaned it with carb cleaner and waited for another drip and it didn't come from there...
