Motor Oil Leak

Another issue! seems to never stop with this car.

Every 2 weeks i am putting a litre of oil in as it keeps saying low oil level put more oil. Engine is strong and no oil out of exhaust. I took of the shields and i can see fresh motor oil (golden) right around the back of the engine close to the firewall. a little bit towards the passenger side. The leak seems to be concentrated around the oil pan on that side. It does not leak what the car is parked but i am guessing under pressure while driving it is forcing itself out.

Can anyone tell me what might be the issue here ? Thanks!!

It could be leaking from one or more of many different places and you need to find which one(s). Some are easier to fix than others so don't jump to any conclusions. Use an engine degreaser and water to clean it first....no high pressure water or steam....and narrow it down by constantly checking. That much fluid loss should be easy to pinpoint quickly.

+1 to mleskovar that is always a good first step
