Oil leak on front cover, eb?
#12
I noticed the other day on my 2012 Eco screw that there seemed to be an oily film up on top of the radiator. Dip stick read fine, I assumed that the mechanic got sloppy when they changed the oil last time. I was gonna take it down to the car wash and hose the block out but haven't had a chance yet. I guess maybe I need to look closer first, any of you guys noticed this or has it pretty much been at the bottom for everyone?

just noticed this on my 2013 very slight more sooty looking but it looks like its coming from the cover gasket hard to tell. 10k miles and it just looks dusted with dirt. I sprayed it off will see where it re appears. Then off to the dealer if need be. Wouldn't have even looked if not for dropping a nut, it's ever so slight.

How in the hell could you stand the smell (of burning oil)?? That's how I noticed my leak at 5k...that's one hell of a leak!

It is one hell of a weep, never had any oil drip on the floor and the bar right below that leak is dry as a bone. Oil has never registered low on dip stick either.
She's going in tomorrow morning though for this and the ol drive line issues and couple other things.
