Single drop of oil under the engine
Found a single drop of oil under the car on two separate occasions this past weekend. Recently switched to Amsoil 5w-30 fully synthetic. Checked the drain plug and the filter and both were clean with no signs of a leak. I know this stuff is ridiculously slippery, so it may be possible that it is seeping through somewhere. The oil appeared after the car had been sitting in the garage overnight.
I changed the oil right before I put it in storage for the winter and there was no sign of oil under the car when I took it out (3 weeks ago). Anyone have any ideas as to where this could be coming from? thanks

Re: Single drop of oil under the engine
On crossmember near steering gear,
likely dripped from when the filter was changed

Re: Single drop of oil under the engine
A paper plate stuffed under there during filter removal works wonders for me.

Re: Single drop of oil under the engine
Good thinking. I always took some aluminum foil and made a trough to catch the oil and direct it into a container. This worked great to keep the rack clean.
