Im leaking oil mostly when the engine is running (ie when there is oil pressure) its leaking I think where I have drawn in red I was wondering if maybe someone could help pinpoint this to one location maybe from their own experience. check the pic and reply... Dave.

looks like the oil cooler o-ring its the red circle. had that same prob on my previous gs but it was not leaking bad. The ring is like 50cents. Easy fix.

It's the oil cooler/ mount gasket most likely. It's a red/orangish seal and costs 7.99 at your local mazda dealer. I just replaced mine, same issue.

i JUST had this replaced yesterday

the gasket at location 5 was about $4 and the o-ring at location 4 is about $9 from the mazda dealer...

mine was leaking a ton of oil before but now everything is better
