Any ideas where this oil could be coming from? I had the valve cover and gasket replaced and cleaned the previous residue but I'm still getting this. I get smoke from the exhaust manifold and oil burn smell after driving, but the engine runs fine. It only seems to leak when the engine is running (no dripping on the driveway). I'm thinking head gasket, but don't see the typical signs. The pic 1 is from the front driver wheel well. Pic 2 is from underneath looking up.Thanks!
Oil from the heat shield and exhaust manifold bolt. You can also see the reflection on the engine block in the background.
Oil on the heat shield and dripping from the starter.
Put some dye in the oil, run it for a few days, then go lookin' with a UV light. I suspect you still have a leak on the top somewhere, and the oil just runs down.
