Whole lotta Miata

[Senor_Taylor]

Went back up to JMU for a few days and left the car at home. Came back and checked to see what leaked while it sat for 4 days. There was wet oil on the front of the oil pan, which is weird because there's never been any there before. Drove to work and checked again and it's bone dry and looks normal.

What could cause this? Oil pan gasket will require me to pull the engine, I think, so hopefully not that. Crankshaft seal? If it's that, are there any symptoms other than oil leaks? I don't want my crankshaft to wobble or something.

Did you replace the front oil seal when you did the water pump?

I did not replace a single seal other than what came with the water pump.
