Then, you should be able to see the source of the oil leak, could be as simple (hopefully) as the o-rings seals of the spark plug tubes, as these are fairly easy to replace, but first you need to know where the oil is coming from.. Good luck!
Right, but I just wanted to get some ideas like the one above....Based on that area check this and check that first....

I couldnt see anything above but it was hard to see the back side of the case going up.


Question.....
If the filler tube is leaking, will the car always leak or just when you put oil in it?
