Does the motor have an external oil filter housing?
Would it be anywhere near the fuel filter?

I'm thinking of my setup, where one of my fuel filters (a spin-on water
seperator) is mounted nearby the remote oil filter. If there was a pinhole
in the oil filter or any of the remote oil lines/fittings, it could result
in the oil 'travelling' and landing elsewhere.

just a thought...

I have a 94 chaparral with a 350Mag 5.7L. I have noticed today after a day
out on the water that there is a small oil leak. I can't seem to pinpoint
it exactly but there was fresh oil on the bottom of the fuel filter and
also near the fuel line and elbow. Now I'm too familiar with engines...
but does oil travel anywhere near those parts? Also if so what is the best
way to pin point the leak? It wasn't a leak were i can see it physically
coming out and i tried to trace it to something above that but couldn't see
any fresh oil. Any help is appreciated..
