Car leaking oil somehwere, cant find leak?

my chrysler 2.2L 4cyl has 82,000km on it, and started leaking a bit of oil out the bottom of the car somehwere before winter and i stored it in the winter and placed a large cardboard underneath....after there was some oil on the cardboard.....well anyway come april 20th, i changed the oil and checked for leaks underneath and doesnt seem to be leaking anywhere but i notice small spots of oil underneat...oil pan is is not rusted out....i had a new valve cover gasket put in last year....its not burning oil.....but yet after a while on the dipstick it gets down to the add mark....do i have bypass going through rings....i dont get why its losing oil.....also antifreeze is not in oil....Car leaking oil somehwere, cant find leak?
I wouldnt worry to much as all cars use some oil..If theres blowback you would have oil in your intake.i sugest degreasing all the car engine and finding the leak that way.it could just have been spillage or a loose oil filterCar leaking oil somehwere, cant find leak?
dodge has had a recall on either the valve cover gasket or the head gasket for this reason simple leaks. that is what i was told last year i believe it was. you might want to check in with the dealer and see what they have to say.


btw EVERY engine Burns a little oil, i don't care if it is a fiat, or a Ferrari, just by design, you introduce oil into the combustion chamber and you burn it! not very much, but a quart over 3000 to 4000 miles is considered normal by most of the people that i talk to on a regular basis.
Could be coming from anywhere.


Take your car to a steam cleaner to remove all the external oil and grease from the exterior of the engine block.


Look for leaks on your clean engine.





The most common places for oil leaks are: oil pan gasket, oil pan drain bolt, rear main seal, transmission bell housing, oil filter, timing chain cover and cylinder head.





Another way to find oil leaks is to add an ultraviolet dye to your oil, drive around for 10 minutes and look for the dye color using a black light.
