so my car is leaking oil, it is coming from the oil pan area, we changed the oil pan gasket and also checked the rear main and it looked fine, any ideas where else it could be coming from? it seems to be dripping off the front of the tranny :roll:

Not sure about the KA, but there are two oil pans. The little one that you likely changed the gasket on, and the large one that is the size of the block itself. Could be that one leaking.

clean off the engine at a car wash and then look for where there is oil residue, then you will know where the leak is coming from
