I moved the car out of the garage this week after my visit to Zedfest and saw some oil spots on the floor. It seems to be coming from the front of the engine somewhere below the alternator. Anyone have an idea what the cause (and solution) may be?

Looks as though it could be around one of the gaskets too. Any power loss or strange sound? Might be worth cleaning the area and checking again after a bit of run. Might leave more of a trail.

If I recall right the oil pressure switch is situated behind the oil filter housing Mac so worth checking as they can leak all.of a sudden as they're at full pressure.
