Default Mazda5 oil leak

Hi everyone , my model is a 2.3 L 2008 i noticed my car leaking underneath and determined its engine oil. I'm trying to figure out the source of the leak and its hard for me to determine . Does anyone have a diagram for underneath the car or engine components It looks like the oil filter ??


. i have attached a picture if that is helpful . Thanks again !

Welcome to the forum!

My advice the first thing you need to do si a complete and thorough engine and engine bay cleaning! You leak or leaks have been happening for a little while and did not just happen. You have old and new oil deposits in a few areas on the engine.

From 1st impression, I'm going with oil cooler. Some models you can buy a O-ring , others require a complete oil cooler.
