First post here, go easy on me. My brother's 08 Evo X has an oil leak and is taking it into the dealership today to get it checked out.

I wanted to cross-check with the pros on evoxforums and see if it corroborates with the dealers story. What is it leaking from, why, and how can we fix it?

Engine has been replaced with oem because he blew the first motor.....
This motor probably has 10k miles on it.

Hopefully I can post pics- here it goes:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I haven't been on the backside of the motor enough to be able to tell if that's one of the oil lines to the turbo or something else.

looks like it. the only thing that can drip oil down from that high is a oil line or the valve cover. seems like (assuming the turbo was not replaced) when they installed the motor whoever it was, left something loose or didn't bother replacing the gasket, o-ring, whatever it is (have not taken the turbo off yet). however, they did sillycone the shit out of the oil pan
