I've had a mechanic check for oil leaks 5 times and it's still leaking even though they used dye two times to find the leak. Is there a finite list of possible leak locations they could check and is there a leak location that is especially common to this car?

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

The best way to find any oil leak is to give the engine a good wash down and take it for a drive if the oil leak is minor, a longer drive will be needed, It will be so much easier to track the leak back to where its from with a clean engine, If you can give me a rough idea where the oil is on the ground, left or Right? Front or rear of engine? This will be a big help. I find it a bit hard to understand how a mechanic cant quickly find a leak, as he has the option of putting it on a hoist to check from under the car, try this and re post with any findings you have, and I am sure that we will pin point this leak.
