oil leak
my 88 TII is leaking oil from somewhere.
it's not from the oil pan, but from somewhere else..
it also appears that it only leaks when the car is actually running, when i shut it off to inspect it, i couldn't find the leak. but when i start it up again..tadah! like magic, it began leaking again.
the oil pools up on the driver side of the car, between the oil pan and driver side front tire. like i said earlier, i can't find the leak and don't know where to start.
can anyone help me out?

Probably like Icemark said oil cooler line, also sometimes where the front line connects to engine the fitting becomes loose and looks like it is the lines thenselves when it is just the fitting.

thanks guys.
i'm gonna clean up the engine this weekend when i do my oil change and hopefully, that'll make it easier for me to pinpoint the leak.
