alright i have a 98 kia sportage that has massive and i do mean MASSIVE OIL LEAK. i put the front up on ramps over the weekend expecting to see the oil pan soaked thinking it was the oil pan but nope its just about dry, but the bellhousing is completely soaked. now when isay massive imean to the ammount that it uses 5-7 quarts a week.i can see that the back of the motor is completely soaked in oil but i cant tell where its coing from. i was wondering if there was something common that goes to cause this before i just start replacing things. the vavle cover will be done soon as it needs a tune up any way.

oh one more quwstion does any one make a service manual for the sportage like chiltons or anything i cabt seem to find one anywhere in ct
