    Can anyone name these parts? This is on the passenger side looking up. (I’m on the ground, above the skid plate) Think its oil?

    If anyone knows even what parts or lines they would be let me know. Thanks

    If it doesn't go above the oil pan, then it is the pan. If it goes above, could be oil filter housing (common), valve cover (common), or the pressure sensor. All pretty simple.

    Mine is leaking in the same spot and it is the oil pan - easy fix for prerunner less so for 4wd.

    Clock Volt meter/LSPV Delete/Hyundai 16’s/FP gauge/after 9months of wrenching ZERO oil leaks
    Kinda looks like a tranny hard line
    (I had to “set back” to remove my oil pan)

    buy few cans of brake clean
    Spray the affected area clean
    Then monitor

    could be coming from above like Noodles says

    Look from up above, at the back corner of the valve cover gaskets. If it's leaking it'll drip right in that area
