    how about you de grease the engine and mount, then keep check ing on it after a day to see where the trail of oil is coming from.

    if its the crank seal it will leak and be seen pretty fast.

    I would think crank seal would throw oil around engine bay. I would check sending unit. It might run down the front of engine and be hard to see.

    It won't..

    Had one leak on me and unless you look on the ground you would never notice..

    I bet it's either the crank seal or sending unit both are easy enough to replace.

    That is what I saw when my balancer seal was leaking. And it leaked rather fast for how small the leak looked. But yes, rather easy to replace.
