Oil leaks r53
Currently i had problem with coolant leak so i went to the shop and noticed that there was oil leak as well.
i replaced valeo clutch kit and rear main seal a month ago. Previous rear main seal did good job but i replaced it anyway.
i’ve also replaced oil pan gasket at the shop about 3 months ago. They sealed with silicone.. can anyone know where it leaks from?
i hope it’s not a rear main seal..

A rear main seal leak would cause clutch slippage that I'm assuming you don't have since you didn't mention it. Have you ever replaced the o-ring on the crank position sensor? That's on the front of the block but, when leaking, the oil can migrate down and back. What is your current oil usage/replacement interval?

Wow! That's a tremendous amount of usage in only 2k miles. Given the amount I would suspect a leak at either the oil pan gasket (even though you just replaced it, you might try retorquing the pan bolts) and/or the oil drain plug. First though, I would clean the affected areas so that you can pinpoint the leak once you've driven it again.

ps: if it turns out to be p/s fluid it could be as simple as changing the reservoir cap o-ring

It's already been over a month since I installed clutch and rear main seal however, clutch runs fine and i don't see any slipping. which means it is not rear main seal correct?
