Thanks in advance!

Photos you have posted do show the oilpan and part of the transmission. The neophyte in me says it's not a leak in the oil pan per se but the oil may just be "crawling" to it.

Best to have your car lifted and have the underchassis thoroughly cleaned. That way, you'd be able to trace (and determine) where the oil leak is actually coming from.

A cleaning (pressure wash) as recommended by Benzmizer, is mandatory before going any further.

My guess (not good enough, though!) is that the rear engine oil seal is leaking.

Check your engine oil level more often until you determine the source of the leak.

Please let us know what you find, so that we can all benefit.

Ciao!

Uncle Nick.

If my assesement is right, thats in between rear part of engine block and the bell housing of the transmission case. If correct it can be the rear crank case Oil seal.

Procedure: transmission housing will be taken down (might as well have your clutch pack checked or replaced to save you money if near replacement stage na) Lower part of crankcase will taken out and cleaned.

Parts you will need.
1 pc. Front collar gasket
1 pc. rear collar gasket
1 pc front crank case oil seal
1 pc. rear crank case oil seal

Most expensive will be the labor, parts are quite cheap but made in japan. You may as well be paying for labor of transmission pull-out and crankcase pull-out. Might as well replace the other seals involved. Get a very good mechanic or one with warranty. I deally the engine should be turned upside down for correct mounting, but since we are in the philippines it can be done without turning it over. IMHO

Maganda ang acceleration and I could reach 120 to 130 km/hr(at may ibubuga pa) considering wala kaming NLEX o SLEX o ano mang super hi-way dito kaya din rin gaanong maka accelerate into higher speed..... Natatakot lang akong magpa bilis nang masyado kasi nga ang tinatahak ko na daan dito ay 2 lanes lang, maraming intersections at ang iba ay populated pa kaya di ko pa na try isagad.....

Bro, saan makabili nito at magkano price?Thanks.

Thanks to all of you...i changed my engine oil and the mechanic noticed that the engine is overfilled with oil. Could this be the culprit?

Can be. That is the purpose of the dipstick. There is a minimum and maximum level of engine oil to put. As the saying goes, "Anything in excess is BAD".

great day po mga tsikoteers!

any knowledge sir about tail light ng Sportivo Xmax, supposed to be as per manual LED Lights na yung Break Light ko, pero lately napansin ko di siya LED.

haist ano po ba talaga nakakabit sa Sportivo? nag iiba po ba ito sa dealers?

O.T
nag leleak po yung hose for my P-Steering, upon inspection mukhang sa crimping between metal and plastic/rubber hose...
