Please say it’s not the seals.

This started today. I’ve already been dealing with a broken trail arm and a bunch of other things. Ideas as to this

It just looks like there is water all over the engine bay. It will just evaporate. Not much else to see. I cant tell what intake you have. Otherwise maybe an exhaust leak if it doesnt clear up.

I wish it was water. It’s oil. It’s spraying as I drive.

I plan on washing it down tonight if possible or at least spraying it with degreaser and letting it soak but 05 six speed and the oil filler hose and can are deleted. That’s how I bought it. I’ve mainly used it to go to and from work but that’s also mainly highway miles. Air intake was also changed when I bought it.

If it is actively spraying oil, its either the OMP oil injectors or a broken engine oil line. Shouldn't be too hard to find the source or general area where it is coming from if you do some cleaning.

First guess would be oil cooler hose, but there's some weird stuff in your video. What is the wire or hose running across the front of the engine? One of the intake nipples looks disconnected which would be a giant vacuum leak, the oil beck vacuum routing doesn't looks quite right. Does it only do spray up when you drive it hard or all the time?

Take some better pictures and make sure your vacuum routing is correct. You can google for diagrams. If that's a cheapo aftermarket intake, plan to throw it in the garbage and go back to stock or AEM/Mazdaspeed.
