    No.

    But until you can at least describe the leak point, or photo document it, all anyone here can do is guess where the source may be.

    And verify the PS system isn't the problem.

    If the whole place is a mess, the best thing to do is degrease everything and watch it daily and see where it reappears.

    But, in the name of fun............

    I'll guess it's a high miles vehicle with a leaking valve cover.

    I have 152k....my valve cover gasket had to be replaced last oil changed. That is my guess.
