There is no oil around my new sending unit or my main seal or dripping off my pan, it all seems to be comming from the power steering pump and running down to all my susp. Parts...what could it be, is there anything else that oil runs thru in that area? Please help, this is ganna ruin my weekend...

Thanks everyone.
does the oil look like its dripping and seeping, or does it look like its been sprayed all over the place? If the latter, you may possibly have double gasketed the oil filter. About how long after (changing oil/sending unit) did you notice the oil getting everywhere? Instantly, or did it take awhile?

Wes may be right though, it could be a PS line. I think your best bet would be to take it to your buddies (assuming he's a good friend) shop and let him have a looksie. just my two or three cents
