Cool

oil leak

i walked out to my truck this morning to find two puddles about 2" in diameter of oil on the ground under the front and rear drivers side corners of my motor (240 straight 6) I can't seem to locate where its leaking from so any suggestions from anyone who's had a similar problem would be greatly appreciated

My first guess would be valve cover.
