Oil Leak, center of car just ahead of the firewall...

I have a leak just ahead of the firewall, right down the middle of the car. I belive it is oil. I will be checking the car later on but looking for ideas of what to look for.

Thanks!

check the oil pan for leaks and depending on how many miles are on the car, the sealant between the pan and the block may need replacing. same thing happened to my friends car. if it leaks a lot, you'll be able to trace it quickly. also check the oil filter and make sure its tight.

Also check the oil filter....it may have worked itself a little loose....had that happen the one and only time I let someone else do the oil on my car....it was my brother...lol.

Yeah, mine leaks. If we're talking a quart every 1500 miles, that's a good place to start. If we're talking a quart every couple of days, then look to the RMS.
