Just changed the oil today. noticed a leak around the oil pan and on the lower control arm. also there is some fresh oil on this lip below the exhaust manifold. i did get a check oil light. any clue on where the leak might be coming from?

If its on the pass side it may be comming from the return line from the turbo?? Its a very common place to leak. Check it with a flashlight at the base of the flange. There is a gasket in the flange that goes bad.

Sounds like that might be it. could it be the oil pan?
