    I am still learning the gtp, I have a small oil leak, cant seem to locate where it is coming from. Are there any common places where gtps leak, or is my best bet to take it to a shop and have them add dye to the oil and use a black light to locate it?
    Thanks in advance

    Valve covers.
    LIM bolts seep oil onto the LIM (not critical)
    Oil pans
    Rear engine cover

    Those are the most common.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
