My 1986 240 is leaking oil from the bottom of the car under the front passenger door!
History: I just repaired a major oil leak from oil spraying out the rear cam shaft because the seal blew out. It probably sprayed out a few litres of oil in total against the firewall. Perhaps this is why it's leaking under the door?? From traveling backwards?
Is there another reason why it would leak oil in that spot? See attachments.

Pull up the carpet and pad on front passenger side and see if the oil is there on the steel floor. Are you sure it is engine oil? It does not look like coolant from heater in the photo. I think all the brake lines are down the center.
