    I woke up this morning to fluid on my garage floor. The fluid appears to be minimal but a first. Some of it was fresher then others, and the freshest was a brownish color located mostly near the front right wheel. All pictures taken were from the front right and in the pictures I believe the leak is coming from behind the pulley, any ideas where or what it could be? 04 GP NA

    There are 3 things it could be.

    The front main seal, the oil pan gasket or the oil pressure switch on the back of the oil filter housing.

    I would clean everything the best you can and run the car for a little while, then figure out where the leak is coming from.

    Use purple power, simple green or a soap dealio and a pressure washer to get everything super clean. Do it in the street for something to avoid stains on the driveway,

    The oil sender is notorious on other 3.8's they usually leak right out of the connector.
