My Apex I thought was leaking oil from the oil filter because I would always find oil on the drip tray under the filter. So today i decided to look closer and it looks to becoming from the front of the engine parallel (left of) to the alternator.

The 6 10mm bolts on top are tight and nothing around them.
Anyone have or had this problem?

Thanks

I would replace your valve cover gasket right off the bat (real easy, I believe the bolts are torqued to 10ft#).. Then put dye in your oil and find the leak with a blacklight.. They have different dye for engine oil and antifreeze.

I had the engine pretty clean to start with, but i used some brake cleaner and made it look almost new.
It is the oil sensor, we had 2 dealers here in town.
