Hello , well the latest thing that needs attention on my 92SHO is a oil leak. It is leaking pretty bad from somewhere on the passenger side of the motor and running onto the front cat and stinks like **** from the burning oil. Where do you think is the most chance it is leaking from? are these known to leak oil on that side of the motor? Hopefully maybee its just a loose oil pan or something?

most common leak points on the passenger side of the engine:
cam seals
power steering pump shaft
power steering pump lines at pump
valve cover gaskets

If it is dripping on the cat, probably rearmost camshaft seal or valve cover. It's a 30 minute job to pull the CID (cam sensor) and see if the housing is wet with oil behind it. Try to capture some of the drips and smell it to see if it is engine oil or PS fluid.

Well i didnt smell it, guess i should have! But when i wiped it off the cat when the car was jacked it felt awfull sticky and kinda thick so maybee it is power steering fluid, unless from the heat of the cat it made the oil feel like that?
