oil leak
What are the common oil leaks? Ive got a small puddle from around the front of the engine. I havent had much time to check it out but a quick look revealed nothing.

Water Pump. Nasty older Dex can be oil like. Front rack leaking at the potted wiring or seals, power steering fluid. Front timing chain cover seal due to harmonic balancer wobbling. Many guesses for you.

I have had the same issue. Go buy a set of Rhino Ramps and put the car on them. Get under the car and look. Mine turned out to be the oil pressure sending unit which is a very common problem and easy fix if you do a search on this forum. Lots written about how to fix, lots of pictures etc. Also, put a wrench on the oil pan bolts and see if any are loose.

Put the eyeball on the power steering cooler lines too. There's a short(~ 2") section of rubber hose leading to it. It's up front and very easy to see. If it IS leaking, it can be replaced without replacing the entire cooler as it would first seem.
