My oil light came on so I put 4 quarts of oil in the engine and now 2 days later my light is back on and the engine is smoking after I drive it for 30 minutes. I know I have an oil leak, but how do I find the exact point of origin?

Hi pinky27,

To understand where the leakage is coming from from, you need to visually inspect it.

Most probably it is coming from 1 of the oil seals and you need to confirm from which area.
