clean things up and search for the leak, you better hope its just the oil pans gasket.

yea bro. i either think its a rear main seal leak.. or an oil pressure censor but... im really getting the feeling thta it could be a cracked block.. and if it is.. say bye bye to my cb7 ='(

carb and choke cleaner, wd-40 or some nice engine degreaser on a warmed up engine should do ya well. Even though you may be able to check it in the light of day a small mirror and flashlight can still help out.

A buddy of mine had a bad oil leak on his nissan and it just turned out to be the oil pans gasket.

Good luck.

Good thing it was a gasket glad you are back to tearing up the street.

Thanks for letting us know what the problem was once you traced it down. Thats arguably one of the most important thing about forum, is finding the solution and posint what you did about it. Many people just post their problem , fix it and then never follow up on their thread.

Cheers.
