The oil leak is mild with very small droplets and stops shortly after shutting off the engine. A friend and I placed it on a lift and cleaned off the area it was coming from. While it was dripping off of the powere steering pump it seemed to be coming from higher up toward the oil filter housing. Again, we cleaned off all of the pipes, pumps etc. and ran the engine. Again the pump, which is in the front, bottom right, seemed to be dripping the oil but there were also drops higher up. We lowered the car and checked from the top looking towrd the oil filter housing and power steering fluid housing and it was bone dry. Any suggestions. Thanks.
