Oil leak from driver’s side?

[REDLINE]

Hey guys,

just got back from a track event. Noticed oil drips/stains in my driveway that lead to the garage. A small oil puddle had formed by the front driver’s wheel. I checked the oil plug and oil filter. No leaks coming from there. The whole wheel well is covered in a layer of oil. I’m assuming I sprung a leak in an oil line. The driver’s side cooler...is that an oil cooler or transmission cooler? It seems like the leak originated from there. Going to take it to the dealer. FYI, mine is a MY ‘18, so I assume it wasn’t affected by the recall.

Oil cooler on the left, tranny cooler on the right.

Thanks Galaxy. Anyone else experience this issue? I wonder if it’s a connector or a puncture...

May not be the cause, but worth confirming...

Oil Pressure Sensor leak?

It’s above the filter.

I don’t think it’s the sensor. The area around/above the oil filter is clean. This seems to be coming from somewhere in front of the front-driver side wheel

Easiest way to find out for certain is to put the front of the car on jackstands, remove the driver’s side front wheel, start the engine, and get underneath the car with a flashlight. That’s how I found the leaking oil pressure sensor on my car.

I had a similar problem (drips on floor near both front wheels) with mine. I thought it would be the sensor leak issue, but turned out to be the oil cooler sandwich above the filter was leaking. They replaced it and it seems all OK now. They even cleaned off the underside of the car, which was totally covered once they removed the belly pan. Good luck.

Welp. Dealer confirmed the leak is from the oil cooler. He didn’t specify where or cause of the leak. Just said they’ve ordered a new oil cooler.
