What are the most common oil leak points?
I appear to have an oil leak. My engine is crammed so tightly into a hole that I can't get around it to see anything. I can't tell where it's coming from. I'm going to buy one of those cameras with the small flexible metal hoses so I can look around.
But until then, are there some typical places that an engine will begin to leak? Or, is everything fair game and it could develop a leak anywhere with equal probability? I did pull my water pump off this spring in my "water in oil" fiasco, but I used a new gasket when I remounted it. Is that a place where a lot of oil can leak? I lose about 1/2 quart per hour. I don't have smoke but I am seeing it in my bilge.
