Need help finding an Oil Leak
 
Well if it's not one problem it's 8 lately.
I have an oil leak on the backside of the engine in my 1999 mazda b4000. It's right above the transmission and leaking down the drivers side of the tranny. It only leaks after being run for a little bit then there's a couple of drops on the ground. I used a mirror, looking down from the top but still couldn't really see where it's coming from. Anybody else had this happen? What was leaking?

Can you tell if it's tranni fluid or motor oil???

100% it's motor oil.
Could it maybe be the intake gasket is leaking?

Left (driver side) valve cover gasket. Try spraying a degreaser to thoroughly clean it.
Gently torque the valve cover down a little more. Then monitor it for a few more days.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the help
