I recently did the oil change, put a new washer over the drain plug and also put a new oil filter and there are no leaks coming from them. Every time I get in boost and park the car I look under the car and leaks little drops of oil and its coming from around the oil filter and drain plug but its not that its leaking somewhere else so please if you guys know wheres its coming please help me. |

I also cleaned up oil build up coming from the timing belt could it be the oil pump. |

Can it be the oil filter housing o ring maybe it got damaged when you removed the oil filter. Did it leak like this before you did the oil change. Same thing when you went into boost. |

Could be anything timing belt side. Cam seals are a pretty common leak. Only way to really tell is to go through the trouble of taking off the accessory belts and timing cover and checking it out. Clean it up and if you can't tell where it is leaking from, put it back together and drive for a little bit and then take everything off again. |

On the timing belt side there are cam seals, oil pump seal, front main seal, balance shaft seal, front case gasket, ofh gasket, and oil pan. These are all places oil can leak form but like wes said pull the cover off and identify the leak asap. |

We are gonna take it apart soon, How much do you think it'll be to replace all those seals, we might as well replace all of them while its all off. |

The seals themselves are around 50 buck's i'd say for oem stuff. |

Well do you know when the last time the timing belt was changed on the car. If you don't know or if it has been anywhere near 60,000 miles you should change both the balance belt and the timing belt. |
