1996 Cobra...pretty much stock. When its cold outside theres an oil leak under drivers side. Went to find it today and noticed the oil is actually coming from the passenger side and running down. Now Im far from a mechanic so ill try to explain this...theres something bolted to the side of the block on passenger side...this is whats leaking oil..What is it? Or why is it leaking? Like i said its only when its cold out and sitting. Thanks for any help!

96 DOHC 4.6? I'm not sure but could be the oil filter housing or oil cooler...

there is only 3 things bolted to the rightside of the block;
1 is the engine mount, 2 is the A/C compressor and 3 is the Crank Sensor, so of the 3, I'd suspect the Crank Sensor which has an O-ringed seal.....other than that, maybe the front timing chain cover......now, if you cant pin-point the leak you can get some engine oil dye and add it to the system and drive for a day, then go back wth a blacklight and the Hi-Vis dye should highlite the leaking area and help you pin-point the oil leak....
