Default oil leak

this is for the stratus butthe same forneons too....i have a oil leak getting on my exhaust manifoldbut it's not the valve cove i just redid the gasket and it's fine(painted my valve cover too)...i think it might be the power steering hose or something like that....i asking because some one might have had this problem already and can help.

Is the ps reservoir in the same place as on a neon? I know after I did my hg I was getting oil on my exhaust manifold and it turned out to be the return line for the reservoir.

well on the passenger side of the reservoir, there should be like a 5/16 or 3/8 hose, mine was loose and spraying fluid out, or check the rest of the hoses and make sure the cap is on well. Also, check your fluid level because this may not even be your problem, but if it is low it most likely is

idk what it is but it only makes sence it's the ps....the whole line is covered in oil and i think it might drip on the exhaust manifold...it dose do it after a long run with lotsof streering but not when i just turn it on and sit or go in a strait line....i think i will go and check it...in the dark[&:]
