Well the J30 has been sitting since winter began. It has been occasionally driven every couple weeks to keep the tires from flat spotting too bad and to keep the battery charged.

While sitting in the driveway I noticed an oil spot. A spot with about a 2-3" radius. Looks like it was coming from the rear of the engine. Oil level is full. I've never had it leak oil in the past. Last year in February I had the transmission replaced and the rear main seal replaced while they were at it.After checking the front of the engine and the sides of the engine I can not see any visible leaks or crud build up. What other seals could cause this?

Oil pressure sensor can develope a leak. Easy and cheap fix. It's located near the oil filter towards the back of the engine.
