Sudden oil leak

[BR00T]

Yesterday I had noticed little oil dots under the car had started from nowhere. It's dripping down from a few places I can't actually see where it's coming from. Hoses seem fine, car not overheating, Engine oil level is fine (will keep an eye on it). Probably could use an oil filter change hasn't had one in a while. Would this be a likely cause? or something more sinister?

Get it up on a hoist and take a proper look.

Is it leaking from the sump? Early Eco and all Buicks have this problem at some stage.

The main drip seems to be coming from the back of the oil pan passenger side. Im putting it in for a service monday, gonna let it sit over the weekend. After the oil change i was thinking about putting some blue devil stop leak in.

Just an update, turned out to be the oil pressure switch leaking. made a bit of a mess for something so small.

It would be under a fair amount of pressure there. Glad it was sorted and was quick and easy fix, unlike it would have been if the sump was leaking.
