[DML] Oil Leaks

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

There are three main sources for oil leaks on the De Lorean engine. The oil light sender (most common), rear crankshaft seal (most common in high mileage cars), and the cam shaft cover seals.

This is kinda confusing.  I'm sure I have an oil leak.  The oil pan is
covered with oil (which I cleaned off during my last oil change) and the
filter has a few droplets hanging off of it.  As I've heard most oil leaks
are the senders, I checked them, and they're covered with oil too.  But
here's the weird part-my oil level doesn't seem to be dropping.  Its right
where it was when I changed it.  Possibly, because the DMC holds so much oil,
it's just not as easy to recognize?  Anyway, would a leak on the senders
cause the oil to get on the pan too?  Or I am I also looking at a gasket leak?
