Hi folks.
RE: 06 R52S JCW
What is the part/thing that is leaking oil that is above my power steering cooling fan?
It has a sensor plugged into the back of it.
I also have a power steering leak which is a separate issue.
I do plan to change the oil pan gasket and crankcase position sensor gasket but I think I have more oil leak sources.

Reason: Clarification on make/model.
Thanks!
I see that Modmini has a "How to replace Oil Filter Housing gasket" video on YouTube.
The plan will be to replace the oil filter housing gasket, crankcase position sensor O-ring, and the oil pan gasket.
(anything else?)
I need to evaluate the power steering leak(s) as well.
im not sure if they make multiple dye colors for checking different leaks. (Oil vs power steering fluid)
