Yes, but im not getting anything on my floor yet, just an oil burning smell sometimes when I come to a red light.
Once or twice a little white smoke out of the passenger side vent. The intake vent.
Popped the engine cover and everything looked dry. A week later (today) got it up on a lift and it "appears" to be coming from what I believe is the oil pressure sensor. Wet with oil but not dripping.
Take a drive and then have a look.
I would think this is going to leak more when driving it rather than while it is sitting.
It could be anything on these cars lol

EVO, LOL, I truly don’t know, I don’t smell much oil burning when it is running, I’ve replaced every thing that could be leaking on the right side, this might be the last thing I haven’t checked for the source on the right side. I don’t truly know, but I will check this source and check it off the list of possible culprits. Thanks.
