[Mgs] oil leak

[oliver]

Hi, all.

apparently i have an oil leak.  apparently it is leaking down onto the frame 
way up front, under the oil filter or farther forward.

is there a usual suspect in this area or do i need to get it up and get 
under and do some serious detective work?

should i be looking at switching to stainless steel hoses if, what i think 
is true, its in the oil cooler hose connections to the oil filter?

thanks!
