May sound stupid but if you will clean the area with Purple Power (or a like cleaner) Rinse it well (Do not get the PP on your exterior paint), and let it completely dry. Then run/ drive it just enough to make it leak. Can you see the origin? If not, sprinkle some flour around the area and Blow away the excess (Dry) with compressed air from a distance, as not to disturb the oils path. Can you find it now? I hope this helps--The Medic
