94 oil leak

[nefordfan]

My 94 sho suddenly decided it want to mark its territory something terrible. Anyway looking around it appears to be from underneath the throttle body. Is that were the oil sending unit is located? Or are there any other spot in that area that may cause this sudden oil leak issue? Its a 94 sho atx, with 103xxx on the odometer.

You need to go underneath to find what it is. Oil drips down on parts , so look from up to bottom. You can jack it with your spare jack , and with a good flashlight , you should see whats wrong , at worst , take a pic , and show it to use here.

alot of stuff under there that carries oil , i wont enumerate , theres just too much.

Went to the car wash and wash the area underneath the throttle body, is there a hose/tube that routes from this area to somewhere else that may be leaking?

Underneath the throttle body is the EGR vacuum line from the block, but I doubt that would be spitting a lot of oil out.

Are you sure it's engine oil, or possibly dirty power steering fluid? There's a rubber line or two that run under the throttle body and over the transmission for the powersteering. If one of those have a slit, crack, or whatever, it can be what's all over under the throttle body.
