Shouldn't it be pretty easy to diagnose an oil leak? I'm curious to find out where its coming from.

There’s barely enough room to fit a hand between the front of the engine and the passenger side of the engine bay. This makes it very difficult to even see the front upper half of the engine and I have not had time to put the car on jack stands take the plastics off of the passenger side as well as the serp belt and clean everything so I can see where the oil is coming from.

Ah okay, i see. V6 engines are large and complex to be fitted transversely into a FWD engine bay. Makes maintenance complicated.

@bluedevil6 I am betting on the timing cover. Second guess is the rocker cover.
My timing cover leaks about mid-way up on bank 1.
