Big Oil loss!! Not sure what can be the cause?

[karlos_s2]

hey
I haf a big problem at the minute. The other day I see a big oil patch on the road side where I parked. I was in hurry and as not too bad so I decide to look when I return. Next morning,more oil I see when I move the car so I decide to check oil level.
NOt good..well below bottom lefel and I check and refill and it take 1.5 litre !! car is 94 S2 coupe.

Lucky I not drive at this level!
ok, I haf looked under car , remove undertray and clean oil runs , fill oil. Then run car to see where leaking.
I see no leak!!!! Ecept oil seemed to be more in area by main rad, under block.
I haf just removed main rad as I thinked it may be oil presure sensor. but looks not fresh oil here
So I haf problem! ANy ideas what else cause may be? There was drips of oil under flywheele damper item at front of engine (bottom of cambelt) but I not sure where could be from here?
All cyl head dry and exaust side of engine dry ;(

Any ideas for me pleas guys???

Karlos, it is quite likely that it is coming from the oil temp or pressure sensor's on the side of the block. mine were leaking last year and replaced them both and that solved the leak.

First of all, clean where it's oily as much as you can, then drive it for a few minutes, if it leaks this much you should be able to find the leak more easily if the rest is clean.

Karlos: It's like chaging the timing belt and removing the lower crank case bolt, behind that bolt there is a seal which is in the oil pump, that one has to be replaced.
