small oil leak

Sup guys,

I got a small leak happening. I never realised until my brother called me up and said he didn't want me to park my GTR in his garage anymore 

 It's been parked for 1 month in my bros garage and there's maybe like 15drops of oil. So I'm guessing it drops a bit when warm and then stops. I parked it in the driveway with cardboard under the car. If i guess with where the oil lands (the drops are slightly spread out, maybe like 1 inch or 2 apart on the carboard) it seems to be right under the pulleycover (big cover with the big rb26 writting on it in front of the engine).

 I checked under the hood and everything looks nice and tidy. Under the car there isn't much stuff this far up front, maybe the front diff? 

I' m getting it tuned this week and mentionned it to the tuner. He's going to have a look at it.

What can it possibly be? I checked the engine oil and everything is fine there as well.

steering rack, check it out where the metal fittings are. Nibbing them up helps for a little while but the brass washers cause issues. 

Providing you have checked all the usual. Sump plug/washer, oil filter, tappet cover gaskets, dip stick and pipe where it joins the eng, catch can & hoses, general lines & intake pipe, power steering hoses.

That's quite a few things to check. If the tuner doesn't find it, I'll try to check all that this weekend.

Thanks.

Could also be the main seal behind the HB, or one of the cam pulley seals?

Get some engine cleaner and try to clean it as best you can. That will help spot where its leaking from.
