Did someone spill it when they were filling it up? If so, that's exactly where it flows to if that happens!

Is it possibile that when you were changing oil that you spilled some on top of the motor and it ended up under the cover?

Did your dip stick pop out and spray oil everywhere at some point? Or did someone with Terrets (sp?) do you oil change last time?
