Hi, I do all my own work on my car unless I absolutely need help and right now I'm asking for it. I have an oil leak on the left side of my engine and it is not small at all. My engine is dirty with oil so I am waiting for it to cool down so that I can degrease it and look closer as to where the oil leak is coming from. Like I said it is on the left side on the engine compartment. When I got under the car there wad oil on the bottom of the oil pan but not from the plug to change the oil. It almost looks as if it were coming from what looks to be be a mounting bracket or something at the top back of the oil pan. It is also connected to what looks to be my air conditioning unit maybe? I will keep updating as I do more work. Any help and ideas are greatly appreciated!

I just went out there and wiped off anll the bottom of the oil pan and followed it to the side of the oil pan by the left wheel then up to the side of the engine block where i believe the timing belt and other parts are. It looks as though it is coming from in there. Any thoughts yet?
