2005 Dodge Durango 5.7L All Wheel Drive Automatic 36,000 miles

I just bought this Durango and after driving it home, it has a leak. I didn't notice it at the dealership. It appears to be oil as it is light, clearish brown and oily. I cannot tell where the leak is but dosen't look like it is coming from the oil pan. It is all over the front, right part of the underneath part of the engine. Any idea where this leak could be coming from?

Hi there,

i would take it straight back and ask the dealer to sort it out... but if you want to look at it your self, you will have to wash it down and run the engine , check around the oil pressure switch, front crankshaft seal & sum as these are the most common problem spots.
