Oil leak

Recommended Posts

Have a leak on a 14 dodge journey 3.6 pent, assumed it was the infamous oil filter housing. Changed it out and saw a small bit of oil in the valley and thought I nailed it. Still have a leak. Far as I can tell it seems the leak is coming from above the thermostat. At a bit of a loss on what Could be leaking from that spot. Any help or ideas would be appreciated

What is a "small bit" of oil? How many miles on this '14 vehicle?

A "seep" could be a leak from PCV system tubing or valve cover gaskets. 

Pumping large amounts when running is from the oil pressure end of things, as you went after the oil filter housing/cooler component right off. OR did you get a new filter cover and seal and not replace the whole unit ?
