Default Leak under the engine... Is there a special

technique to identifying/locating where the source of the leak may be coming from?

I noticed there's some sort of oil residue (no burning smell or anything) that has accumulated underneath my engine. I think it's motor oil. Upon a brief inspection, I don't believe it's coming from the oil pan.

Default Brake Clean and a high pressure air hose will clean the area really fast and then you should

be able to find the source.
