Oil is coming from somewhere and I cannot locate it the engine has recently been rebuilt prior to my owning. Oill leaks on driver side it appears to be spraying from somewhere valve cover is not leaking rear main seal is not leaking appears to be in vacinity of oil filter or base of the dipstick does not leak unless at highway speed. I got under and looked wiped away all prior oil and that is the only place I could determine how do I find it and how can I fix it? Thank you

Hi there, replace the oil filter as the seal may be defective, wash down under the engine and take it for a short drive you then may see any fresh leaks forming, start here,
