Default Oil again

Dodge Caravan SE - 2002 3.3L

Hello all,

I still have an oil leak on my van and I'm trying to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from.

The oil seems to coming from over the Oil Filter and blowing back onto it.

I've changed the oil filter at least twice and there isn't an old filter gasket left on it.

I'm thinking it could the gasket from the oil filter adapter piece that connects to the engine - but I'm having a hard time finding a picture of it to explain where it is.

Someone suggested I get a blacklight and dye but around here they go for ~$50-80.

Someone else mentioned that it could be the timing cover - are there any pictures somewhere where I could get an idea of where the leak could be?


Thanks in advance for your help.

Oil pressure switch? I believe that thing is next to the oil filter.
valve cover gasket is common, But if those things leak, you should have oil covered all over the block.
