Had the motor mount out lately?
One of my SDLs was puking oil in the area you describe and it was cured by
taking out the motor mount boolts, clening the threads thouroughly and
putting the bolts back with silicone RTV sealant. No leak. On the 603,
the motor mount bolts thread into the oil galley, aparrently.

I' trying to track down a nasty oil leak. Jeff Zedic mentioned that he
thought the lift pump leaked which I assumed would be a diesel leak. The
leak seems to be coming from the IP side of the engine near where the
engine mount bracket is bolted to the block. Are there any common leaks on
these engines? Does anyone have any thoughts as to where this leak is
likely coming from? Thanks in advance.
