I have an oil leak that I haven't found yet. It is between the oil filter cooler and the passenger side of the oil pan gasket. Whatever it is, it seems to be dripping onto the cross member and dripping down on the passenger side of the car. I don't think it is the oil cooler o-ring because it looks dry around there and the oil spots on the floor are a bit farther back. I am thinking possible valve cover gasket? Anyway, I wanted to try one of those leak detector kits with the light to detect it. Is the dye safe on these cars? I am changing the 0-ring today anyway as a matter of maintenance but we'll see.
