So, I've noticed the development of a very slow oil leak. I'll see a drop of oil on the floor every week or so. Unfortunately, I can't be sure exactly where it's coming from. It seems the area to the left of the oil filter and a bit down, has some oil mist on it. I'm not sure if it's a faulty gasket on the filter, or a faulty engine gasket.
The valve cover on the top of the motor is pretty common to develop a leak from. It would not be the source of your problem though. Try the oil filter or drain plug.
From what you have described it sounds like the front oil cooler line that bolts onto the engine. Could be loose or the o-ring could be pinched or split.
