    I climbed underneath my newly purchased 97 gtp to check things out and there seems to be a few leaks.
    First I noticed some oil on the oil pan bolts on the driver side which seems to be coming from the top of the engine here is a pic


    As you can see there is oil leaking down the engine between the freeze plug and flywheel is wet with oil. Im guessing this is the rear valve cover gasket (near the firewall), if so how difficult is it to replace?

    Leak#2: Im not sure if this is oil leaking from the other end of the rear valve cover gasket (passenger side) or power steering fluid leaking out of the power steering pump where the pulley goes into the pump.
    Sorry about the angle that's the best I could do but if you look closely right in the center of the pic you can see oil about to drip down from right where the power steering pump pulley goes into the pump.



    and theres also this


    This is the engine (or trans?) mount right below the crank pulley I think either the oil dripping from the power steering pump area is ending up here or the mount ruptured letting the fluid inside of it out (or both)
    There is no oil leaking from the pressure sensor its dry around it

    Oh and also just for the heck of it I decided to check how tight the oil filter was and it was loose. It took 2 whole rotations to tighten it up all the way. I don't think it was leaking though.
