    Leaks oil only when running

    Noticed today that my car leaks about tablespoon of oil when running for 10 minutes, but if I park somewhere else, there is no oil, so its leaking when running, but not when parked and turned off. Where could this leak be?

    it was the same problem to me. it was leaking from the seal on the crankshaft (on the gearbox side). you should take off the gearbox to change it
