Do I have an oil leak?

[Slippery Pete]

I can not find the source of this. Hopefully someone can help. There is a drop below the radiator and some that looks as if it was propelled by the belt...

I can't find where it's leaking. I'm hoping someone has an idea thru their experiences.

I did discover the gear box leaking and I'll try tightening up the line nuts in the morning.

Does it look like it’s coming out of the end of the alternator pulley? Then it is, there’s a once way clutch in there.

Thanks! It actually looks like it was sprayed on there, it may look worse in the photo because I put my finger on it and smudged it. It doesn't appear to be leaking there but I'll get a better look.

If you kneel on the front bumper and look straight down on the Alternator you will see it sprayed out each side if that is your leak. If so you can replace just the pulley if you can find one.

That looks more like a coolant leak than oil. Strictly opinion from the pics.

I believe it's oil, it appears brown/black on white paper towel. My coolant level does drop very slowly tho, but I'm not sure if it's boiled off from the turbo or a leak.

It probably is. I was just basing it off the pic. Hopefully it's nothing major, but at least it's covered under warranty.
