Oil leak under power steering rack

Post by bronxnativ »

Here are details:
I have drops of oil on the sub frame directly below the power steering rack. It's not the rack nor is it p/s fluid or tranny fluid, It's dirty engine oil. I tried to find where it was leaking from to no avail. Their is no leak from oil cap, but I DO need to replace the PCV.

Question:
Did the rear main seal possibly give in?
