Must likely the oil cover gaskets are leaking. It is easy to fix but if you are not practical better pay someone do it

Why Mazda MVP 1997 oil leak at top of engine and drips oil on exhaust cowling. I replaced V Cover and inspection hole gaskets with no change. Did dye too. Oil at top of eng front to back?
Did you check the oil pump, and oil lines at the front of the engine? Start at the front, because what you're seeing with it going from front to rear could possibly just be blowback from the engine fan.
What causes soot and water drips from exhaust?
That is called condensation. When you start the engine the exhaust system/pipes are cold. When the heat from the engine exhaust passes through the exhaust it makes it sweat. That is normal.
Why does Water drips from exhaust pipe on dodge ram?
If the engine has just been started up then it may be condensation caused from the exhaust pipes warming up and should disappear once the engine has been operated for about 20 to 30 minutes . ----------------- Engines produce water vapor as a by-product of combustion. The water vapor condenses in the exhaust system and drips out. I see drip holes on many mufflers also.

I've had the same problem. Checking other blogs, I've found out that the leak comes from an elbow fitting at the rear of the block (passenger side). It contains an O-ring that needs to be replaced, but the problem may be caused by blockage. Do a google search for the problem & you'll get more answers. -RJC
What causes low oil pressure for GM's 3.8L V6 engine?
In my 1995 Pontiac Bonneville the oil leaks out the intake manifold and drips onto the exhaust. An engine that has a gaping hole will hold no pressure.
What is the Burning oil smell coming in through vents in the van?
An engine oil leak that drips or runs onto the hot exhaust and the fumes find their way into the fresh air intake under the cowl area.
Your 2000 Chrysler 300 drips fluid from the exhaust after driving and then parked Is this normal The outside temp is around 30 degrees?
water coming from the exhaust is normal not lots but some
How do you draw an explanation of how water is made in a car engine?
If you are referring to the water that drips from the exhaust when the engine is running, it is formed by the burning (oxidation) of the carbon and hydrogen that makes up the gasoline. When the carbon/hydrogen molecule combines with oxygen during the burning process, carbon dioxide and water are formed. The water vapor condenses into liquid form as it passes through the exhaust and we see it dripping out as water.
1999 buick regal 38 k engine just installed long block and after 60 miles it smokes horribly and also drips oil out of the exhaust flange at the rear of the engine could it be the intake gasket the lo?
Likely a real bad ring job otr a broken ring(piston ring). To come out the exhaust the oil has to get past the piston rings, then that which is not burnt in combustion(causing) the smoke, exits thru the exhaust manifold and hence to the tail pipe.
What can cause a steam odor when car is running?
Inside the cabin, a leaky heater core can do that. Outside the cabin, any engine coolant leak that drips onto the hot engine will do that also and if the smell seems to be coming from the exhaust, you may have a cracked head and/or a bad head gasket. Take it to a trusted mechanic to be diagnosed.
When does water drips of a car exhaus on a cold morning when car engine started?
This is condensation and it is normal for that to happen.
Leaking oil from muffler?
I would suspect that you're actually leaking "soot". If the engine is running reasonably well and you're getting black liquid when the engine is cold, it's soot. Engines have to run a little "rich' (extra fuel) when they're cold and that sometimes produces a little carbon in the exhaust. Another thing that happens when an engine is cold, the EXHAUST and muffler are also cold. that causes some of the exhaust gasses to condense on the side of the exhaust system. Since automotive fuels are nothing more than complex hydrocarbons, a good portion of the exhaust gas becomes an oxide of hydrogen that we lovingly call "water". Once the water vapor cools on the exhaust system it condenses and picks up the soot and it all drips out, sometimes out of the back of the exhaust pipe, other times out of the "weep hole" of the muffler. If you feel that you're getting too much soot it might be a good idea to give the vehicle a good "tune-up", other than that, there isn't much to do about it. On the other hand, if it truly IS oil, that's leaking out, you have serious oil burning and it's amazing that the engine even runs.
