Oil Leak

I know there are multiple threads regarding oil leaks so I’ll apologize up front for starting a new one. I’ve noticed a small amount of oil dripping down near the front passenger side wheel. There has been enough to make a small mark on the pavement. I haven’t been able to see exactly where it’s coming from and I haven’t removed the skid plate yet to get a better look. It had been a few thousand miles since I changed the oil last so I don’t believe it’s residual spillage from an oil change. Just out of curiosity to see if it helps, I did go on ahead and change the oil today again. I used an OEM filter, checked to makes sure everything was clean and the filter was seated properly and replaced the pan plug gasket. In the picture you’ll see oil grime in the circled area and the arrow is pointing to a small drip. This picture was taken before today’s oil change. Any advice/guidance/thoughts you can provide is much appreciated.

 

Look behind where the power steering pump is mounted, the 4.0L V6 likes to leak there between the timing cover and the engine block. Other than that you will probably have to pull the skid plates and clean it off to determine the source of the leak.
