Closer inspection on where the leaks are is gonna be necessary here, and how bad they are. Sounds like something has a hairline crack, wont really be able to see it, but will leak REALLY bad. Had a transmission done by mr transmission one time, looked fine, bolted it back in the car. week later, was EMPTY. they didnt tighten down ANY of the bolts, 2 had fallen out. Looks can be deceiving on your oilpan. alright, thanks man. Also, if it were the oil pan, it shouldnt really leak onto the strut tower and alt right? Anywho, i think I got enough of an idea to start some troubleshooting --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/oil-leak-behind-exhaust-manifold/123999)._
