2012 LT with 3.6.
Video is below. Car has 101k miles and within the last week has started to leave significant puddles of oil (4-inch diameter) after being parked overnight. Last oil change was at 97k, so it’s not due for another thousand. Looks like it’s near the engine mount and where some mystery tube is open to atmosphere. Oil level is still good, so it’s not losing a ton, but it’s making a mess. Any ideas based on description and the video? Note, it’s been below zero for over a week here and it gets parked outside - not sure if related, but it’s never leaked oil until this cold snap and I’ve had it a couple years now. Tightened the oil filter maybe a 16th of a turn at best - it is snug. When you watch the video you’ll see there’s oil coming from above the vent hose and engine mount, so I’m stumped. Ideas appreciated.
